Ever increasing venlafaxine, plus mirtazapine

Sorry to hear you had a blip, but I hope it was just a blip and you're out the other side now. It is really tough when you think everything's going well and then you crash. Just remember the snakes and ladders. I think I might be on a ladder at last, but I'm so scared to think that in case a snake comes along

Yeah, it can be so unpredictable.Fingers crossed you're on that ladder, I reckon you are. My blip has blipped off, thank god.

I'll raise a glass to that. Blips can blip off

Lets all hope the Snakes get shorter and Ladders longer 🙂

I'm raising that glass to blips blipping away

Hell, me too. Didn't have a great day yesterday and it's so damned frustrating. I started trazodone the night before and of course, it didn't make me sleep, until many hours later when I couldn't keep my eyes open and my mood crashed. I'll give it a week or so but I'm so tired of med changes and snakes. Have a feeling I'll be switching back to mirtazapine. Happy blipping weekend all!

I feel for you, constant med changes that are not working so well must be so disappointing. I will be coming off Mirt soon so am expecting sleep issues its like saying goodbye to an old friend. Guess your only option is to keep plugging away.

[Dying_Swan]

Yes, you're right. I'm trying to be positive but last few days have been turbulent. I don't know if it's switching mirt to trazodone, decreasing ven, having had a couple of drinks at the weekend, or what. I had a difficult CBT session yesterday too, as basically neither of us can decide whether it's worth continuing with. Ho hum. Hopefully this snake is a short one. Good luck with your GP tomorrow.

Thanks will report back what GP does.

I can handle the Slow worms, its the Pythons that im not so keen on.
