Well here we go again...I have had a rough couple of months with more bad days than good so psychiatrist has increased my venlafaxine to the maximum 375mg (also still on 300mg quetiapine and 45 mirtazapine so on the maximum dose of everything now &#128556.

I’m getting the obsessive intrusive thoughts again and generally feeling very unhappy. I have to admit after 18 months on venlafaxine I have really only had 2 or 3 months of feeling reasonably ok, but I don’t think I have ever felt like my old self. She’s there somewhere deep down and I get the occasional glimpse but not for long.

Will just see how this increase goes, getting the usual increased anxiety and racing brain. It’s been 10 days now so hopefully I will see a difference soon. Psychiatrist has suggested I could try fluoxetine next but it would mean tapering off ven first which will be great fun from 375mg! 🤦*♀️
