Ever increasing venlafaxine, plus mirtazapine

[Dying_Swan]

Duty GP called, terribly nice but on explaining I felt like I'd had half a bottle of vodka, he wanted to know how I knew what that felt like and launched into a discussion about alcohol. He's not willing to give advice on the psych meds because psychiatrist is involved. I do understand that but don't want to hassle the psychiatrist, having already emailed a couple of times over the weekend. Maybe I'll just see how tomorrow goes.

I think most people would know what half a bottle of Vodka would feel like even if they never drank it. You were just describing a feeling so no need for a lecture about alcohol, but I guess they were just trying to help.

Well exactly. I would think most people have been drunk at some point. I've emailed the psych again on GP's advice so will see. I hate feeling like a nuisance but really need to know what to do with meds now, and I'm not due to go back for a month.

Oh, how I miss a G&T! Not touched any alcohol since June

Yep, really missing a glass or two of prossecco. Last time I tried that was April and I felt totally shit the next day. Looking forward to the day when that's not a problem.....hope it comes.

You guys have greater will power than me. I am limiting it though, just having a drink occasionally.

Last night was the first night I didn't sleep well despite mirtazapine. Hoping it was just a one off, as feeling shattered today. I'm sure I need much more sleep on mirtazapine than I ever used to.

When I was on 30mg of Mirt alone I used to sleep 12hrs often but felt hungover am.

Thanks Maca. Yeah, 12 hours seems to be what I need with mirtazapine! Slept better last night thankfully, albeit with weird dreams. Hope you're doing well today

Yes thanks its been a good couple of days for me work was really hectic yesterday and normally I would be a complete wreck and stressed out but I was just calm as anything and just enjoyed it, I am now able to take one thing at a time instead of looking at all the deliverys in the van and going into melt down. Its quite amazing how my thinking has changed I have never been able to do this.

That's great Maca. So pleased it's made such a big difference for you
