I've witnessed changes in my life lately. I had a nasty bout of depression and anxiety, and things seemed under control with 75 mg Effexor daily.All of a sudden however, I've been sleeping more and more, wanting to stay in bed all day, and finding it hard to clean the house and even take a shower each day (although I'm a clean and neat-freak).I don't feel suicidal or any different other than this. Talk therapy has been such a failure for me - I never have been able to follow through or get anything out of it even when I do follow through. My psychiatrist is drug-happy and loves to just hand out pills to me like candy. I had to cut myself off from some of them because my memory was so bad after awhile.What do I do here? I can't take higher doses of Effexor because it messes up my blood pressure. I've tried Prozac, Remeron, Celexa and Paxil all to no avail. The idea of starting another pill scares me.Any ideas?
