Thanks again, Scott. I think the really interesting part will be when I try to decrease Remeron. That didn't work before, but I was on 400mg lithium, which may have been bringing me down and exacerbating anxiety.

Days 13-16:

Still getting to sleep, but still waking up after about 5-6 hours. I'm not sure if lorazepam is adequate. With Venlafaxine XR at 150mg (morning/afternoon) I definitely get more energy, which from experience will die down a bit after 3-4 days. Tonight I only take 15mg Remeron.

(sidebar - not a redirect to alternative)

I am also religiously taking lots of B vitamins incl. 5mg extra folic acid and 2-3g of vitamin C. I will also add niacin in large doses to try to improve my lipid profile. I want to add magnesium too, but it is a little harder for me to source reasonably affordable supplements where I currently live. In any case, while the meds are definitely necessary, I think exploration of supplementation is filling in some of the gaps.
