Saw consultant today. So stopping citalopram and restarting venlafaxine with a view to going right up to 375mg. Was on 300mg venlafaxine before. Happy to be off the citalopram but trying not to feel venlafaxine is a backwards step.
The big thing is the consultant persuaded me to try some night sedation again to try and get my sleep sorted and therefore hopefully improve my other symptoms.
Baby steps.
It’s not a backwards step, lovely. If Venlafaxine suited you and it’s the dose that needs changing, then going down that route Should be a positive step. Btw I’m on 375mg too - the books will tell you 300mg is the max but I know pdocs have the extra wiggle room to prescribe
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
