Hi Torombolo

Hope things work out for you in your new search for employment. I think you are bound to feel more stressed at the moment until you have actually started something. Once you have settled back down in to work, you probably won't feel like you need to increase your dose anymore.

You do sound very stressed. If it is the thought of work that is making you like this, is there any way you could make it less of an ordeal? Could you start off by doing something voluntary or part-time to help get you back in to it without causing so much distress? You probably feel like the meds aren't working because you have a stress overload at the moment. If you can reduce the stress it should help.

Oh my goodness I know when your having a bad time and all you want to do is crawl back to bed, the best thing to do is to try and push yourself to do something and not give into this feeling BUT I really don't think that it's your time to go back to work. Your health is far more important!!!!!
Consider your options because resuming work right now could do you more harm than good.
