Tks for combining threads 10derheart and tks for keeping me going here Phillipa.
Since I was a 'little foggy feeling' these past few days, I took half tab v whole tab last h.s.
I feel really pretty good today, like something is being 'tweaked' just right. I tried to read some articles, but agonist, for example, hits me as a negative word, when it's actually a positive one. Make any sense? (Might not!)
I don't know how to explain my feelings other than to say, the fog has lifted and I'm not worrying, and I'm taking care of my responsibilities, and NOT crying as much.
I'm giving some thought to the combining of this w/ an SNRI? I've been googling and see peeps on neuroleptics on an AD as well.
Hope someone w/ experience w/ neuroleptics will find time post here.
Maybe you can explain 'what this is doing to my brain in layman's terms'(?) and also 'what does an AD allow a neuroleptic (and vice versa) to do more effectively?
I'm thinking if this neuroleptic is helping with either 'mood' or 'cognition'. I'm not sure which it is helping more; maybe both equally. Maybe it would offset 'my inability to keep bad thinking, just thinking, when taking an AD'. I wonder if anyone has any thought about this.
Afa whole or half tab, pdoc said, 'Do whatever feels right. Take a whole or half'. And, of course, I'd rather take less, if it works, and it seems to be doing so.
Wish could talk w/ Pdoc, but nearly a month, and no phone calls.
If I were to go w/ an AD, thinking SNRI as less anxiety and most effective AD ever taken was Effexor-XR. I do have Cymbalta here and afa they (I got tossed around between three docs.) know, I'm taking it still. I know; not right. I stopped it because it seemed to be exacerbating pain. I have chronic pain. I didn't think to try half capsule.
The Cymbalta was suggested for because my PCP thought it would help my pain and my head at the same time. Well it made pain worse so consequently, head was worse. Took just four days. (My hypothesis was the 'nerve connection thing' Cymbalta has w/ pain, must have tipped the scale too far for me. Make any sense to anyone?)
Prob' should have tried half capsule.
Hope all are well and having a nice evening.
tks, 5f
