Thanks for the excellent advice, lots to think about. I am staying on the Remeron which was added to my cocktail in July, I will take back one comment about AD never helping me, after adding Remeron, three weeks later, I was actually laughting out loud, motivated, energized, just like someone reached inside and pulled out the old me.....but after some personal crisis....always ongoing for some of us...it seem to stop and the doc bumped the effexor back to 225, I had been as high as 300, and within days I hit an all time depressed state.....it was unbearable and I think if I had not started to wean myself off.....well things would of not been good..I keep in touch with my Psy doc and Therapist by writing to them....it has helped immensely over the past year in informing them, keeping the facts straight, and getting changes made..much better than the telephone.......anyone out there try it...great way to communicate.....just like email.......I have been talking to a great therapist and my minister over the past year on a regular basis and it has been a blessing to have someone other than family to confide in, they are both caring guys, with a sense of humor and knowledge and understanding, especially my Pastor as his family has dealt with depression on a personal level and I come to find out that I am not the only one in the congregation struggling, there are deacons and others...they are usually there and sometimes not....I was of course not told who they were, but it helps to know that I am not the only educated, professional person out there struggling with these issues......thanks again!
