Panda:

Glad to see that you're able to make strides in fine-tuning your meds. I personally hope that I can stick with 150mg Effexor XR because going to anything greater means two capsules and that doubles the cost. Insurance pays 90%, but with Effexor, Seroquel and possible Adderall added in this week, that mean three patent medications and about $75 per month in copay.

I personally had too many side effects from 225mg of Effexor and we dropped it down to 75 and now back up to 150mg. I'm hoping that the Adderall will help with motivation. Effexor makes me feel very nice, but I find myself unmotivated and staring into space more than I'd like.

Take care,

Tony

> Went to my GP today & got the green light to increase my Effexor from 225mg to 300mg to hopefully gain some drive & motivation. My blood pressure is still good, hope it stays the same with the increase. I also take 30mg of Remeron for sleep & help with Effexor side effects. Hoping this will be the last time I need an increase.
