Days 17-19
Increased venlafaxine 75->150mg and kept mirtazapine at 30mg for two days. Felt a lot of energy and clear headed. Dropped mirtazapine down to 15mg and immediately felt worse-less energy, flat mood, anxiety. Am going back on 30mg because I have not had such a bad day since starting venlafaxine since the last time when I tried to decrease mirtazapine.
Still having issues sleeping, so I'm taking 1mg lorazepam + 7.5mg zopiclone and I am getting fractured but mostly restful sleep. I realize now that a lot of my depression symptoms are directly linked to my sleep or lack thereof. Just started "Insomniac" by Gayle Greene, which looks to be the bible of the sleepless.
I wonder if I need to increase Seroquel from 50 to 100mg.
