Well Ed, as usual you're right. I'm gonna stay on the Effexor for a LONG while. I'm so stupid to keep making the same mistakes and being impatient. Switching meds gets me back into the merrygoround and provides no progress whatsoever. I think I'll cut back to 150mgs tomorrow so I don't have a terrible withdrawal. Will stay at that dose for a good deal of time. You're always so reassuring.
My Effexor remission and subsequent return to depression has made me understand more than at anytime in my life that my obsessing is absolutely insane. I just have cycling thought patterns that reinforce these exact same patters. I'm locked down and exhausted by all this. I guess obsessing is really just a variety of anxiety. Smoking pot in the past has given me the same revelation. I'm going to stay on the Effexor, don't worry about that, and I'll cut the Lamictal back to 600mgs. BUT, what do you think about the suggestion to add Remeron. How about putting either Anafrinil, Luvox or Wellbutrin into the mix? I wouldn't even consider making any of these changes any time soon (TRUST ME), but I'd like your opinion now anyways. Hope you're virus is on the way out.
all my best,
