    Sorry, I didn't mean to be a cow. I've been irritable all day. I am not keen on reducing Venlafaxine but I am stuck with this issue of weight gain. Its really getting me down and I am fed up of having to make this choice between being stable and not being blind. What a choice!

    I think I'm being sensible waiting a couple more days and that's what I am going to do.
    I am sorry if i came across as blunt. its because i worry.
    They look at me and think I'm cool, I'm purplefan at night I rule.

    That's a good idea Rose. I can see where you are coming from. I take abilify, but I've been on it for a while, but I can drive with it now.

    If there is a change of having bad side effects from the med swap its only sensible to wait after the interview. I am only concerned what happens if they offer the job with a starting day within the next two weeks. That wont be a good time neither. Sometimes (well quiet often) life sucks, that's probably how you feel now. Go with your instinct, but please don't forget, your health is more important then any job.

    None of these are final interviews, so I should have, in reality, until early August or later until I actually start a job, so hopefully plenty of time in-between. I really need a job, sitting at home is doing me no good at all.

    You are not a cow, what you are going through is awful. Do the interviews and then do the meds on Tuesday and see how it goes. Give it time and try to stay patient and optimistic.
