Basically I'm trying to take back control, but work in progress.
As for the dosage, I went back to the doctors early ish June with that summer onset SAD, I told him then about these awful mental blocks. He suggested upping the dosage by half a tablet a night, but for the second time of trying that I had to stop after 2-3 weeks because my poor stomach couldn't tolerate it.
It's interesting what you say about sedating, that's another reason for considering maybe withdrawing as I do have moments of tiredness, despite not doing a whole lot (still not working, though I'm looking into reception work at a place at the end of my road), and sleeping well.
But with everything we have to weigh it up. I've not had the weightgain, if anything the opposite because I'm having to be more careful. But we ladies don't like putting it on, do we?
I hope you're well, Sharon. Joy came over again last week, bringing beautiful flowers, so thoughtful. She's still very well, but owes it all, for now, on mirt 30mg and venlafaxine, I think 150mg (I hope she won't mind my saying that).
Take care.
