After having my therapist implore me to up my Effexor dosage back to 150mg at least until the holidays are over with... I did. But you know, going up from 75mg to 150mg a day is worse than the decrease. After each dosage, my hands tingle and my mind tingles. This feels like giving up land that I won in a bloody battle, but I'm falling apart. I can taper off from 150mg to 75mg to eventually zero in Jan of 2004. Hopefully, 150mg of Effexor and 50mg of Imipramine will be enough to stop my frequent crying jags for now. I want to beg my pdoc to give me something to make me stop hurting so bad.I keep telling myself "do not self-medicate, do not self-medicate". My newest mantra. Climbing the walls at my home, I'm desperate enough to think about trying aroma-therapy and relaxation CD's.
