So long story. I was originally on 150mg of Venlafaxine 12 months ago, but I was on the standard release stuff and asked to changed cos it was making me ill if i missed a dose but otherwise it worked very well for me. Instead of the doctor telling me I could try the slow release version, I was put on something else and it made me very ill and I'm still recovering.
I was put back on Ven, 150mg slow release before Christmas but this time it gave me severe ticks and head jerks so I asked to be reduced and now I'm on 75mg and have no side effects. I'm also taking 150mg Trazodone, 1mg Haldieperol and 3mg Lorazepam.
So my question is, should I ask my psych upping the dose of Ven, by 37.5mg instead of doubling to help with my depression if it worked so well before. Or should I ask for something different. I'm seeing my pdoc tomorrow and want to have some options to discuss with him.
