You've only been on an effectivish dose (105mg+) for about 4 weeks which is the low end of the kick-in range. It would be a pity if you dropped out just as it began to have a positive impact. Give it until next Monday and if you're still feeling as you are today then kick your shrink's posterior into gear.
will i know when the positive effect is coming? I have been doing small jobs about the house to distract myself.
also dont see her until 11th sept.
what should i say to her?
By the significant improvement of mood. It might come as a gradual day by day linear improvement, or it can be 1 step forward, 2 back, and occasionally 3, or 4 back, for a while.
How you're feeling at the time, which hopefully will be much improved. If you're not then it would be time to consider other options.Quote:

mine is more just a constant rumination. that only settles late at night its as if my cortisol is ramping up all day. I know this because i had a cortisol saliva test when i was coming off meds 4 yrs ago. and it just started high in the am and stayed there until about 9 pm. I suppose ive just got to keep going. its definateley making me more agitated low and anxious and apathetic - what a combo:scared15:.
Thanks Ian for feedback,
Kind regards,
Paul
9pm had 3mg of loraz today and leg still going like a train. I have noticed my resting hr is up. think the NE is really giving my system a workout
You've been unlucky to get them all from just one med. Usually it takes clueless poly-pharmacy prescribers months to trigger that trifecta as they add more and more meds in the hopes of striking the magic combination that will fix their patient's problem (it rarely works, ime). :weep:
You need to raise this with your psychiatrist at the next consult, or with your GP if you have an earlier appointment as this can be treated. Magnesium supplements might help (ask your pharmacist if there are any issues with this and your medications, both prescribed and otc, and also to recommend a supplement as some contain magnesium in forms with low bioavailability, or which may compound AD side-effects such a diarrhoea).Quote:

This and the restless legs are one way of saving on gym fees, I guess. You should be at about the point when down-regulation of noradrenaline, aka norepinephrine, synthesis and expression begins so you should soon get some relief.Quote:
