Hi Kelly,
Well, I haven't felt like visiting the site, or doing much of anything. I went back for my recheck and she upped the Effexor XR to 300 mg. I think I'm doing better, but I wonder if I can beat it, because I always feel better a few weeks after upping or starting a new med, and then go back. I am also seeing my therapist again, so maybe the combination will help.
Now they make generic Xanax Xr, and my insurance makes me get the generic if it's available, and I asked my pdoc if it's possible that it's not staying with me or doing the job as good as it the real thing, and she said yes, it only has to be within 20% of the name brand, so she told me I could take 2, or 1 twice a day. I tried that and was so sleepy, but I did feel better, but I decided I didn't want to do that so I called and she told me late in the evening I could take the regular Xanax if I needed it. Sorry for going on & on. Thanks for asking (& listening) & I hope you are doing o.k. as well!
