Hello everyone,
I went to the doctor today and we decided to ditch Pristiq. She said that we could go up to 100 mg but everything I read says that a higher dosage is not necessarily more effective. So I have taken a leap of faith and she recommended Savella which many of us know is now advertised for Fibromyalgia but is considered a very effective antidepressant overseas. She even had a started packet she got from her GP husband. She also said that we should begin tapering off klonopin but not until I am stabilized. So I got a prescription for it. Also, she added Seroquel to help with insomnia although I am a little aprehensive because of the possible weight gain and Ambien was not working. I am doing better in terms of optimism. I really hope this new regimen works. I will keep you posted about Savella as I am sure a lot of you are curious as how it works.
As for ParnateStarted you made me laugh for the first time in several days. Thank you so much to all for caring.
