changing med regiment

Post by mack » Sun Jul 14, 2013 9:56 pm

I recently saw a psychiatrist who has decided i should start weaning off the Effexor XR i've been on for 10 years and the clonazepam i've been on for six. Needless to say this weekend has been tough. Feel so jittery and depressed i hardly got out of bed. She's started me on Viibryd and hydroxizine. I just don't know right now. I feel like coming off of these drugs is just too much to handle. I was already feeling terrible, but not this bad. she also said something to the effect that i might want to stop working with the parts of this program that have me so much in my head; like keeping track of my negative thoughts and replacing them with positive. she says i'm already in my head too much. she lays all this on me then says i'll see ya in five and a half weeks. i just wanna curl up and fall asleep and never wake up. it seems what i've been doing to 'better' myself has only led me to more suffering and pain.
