Once again I spent most of the day on the couch. I feel like I just want to sit down and have a good cry, but for some reason nothing happens. I just feel kind of numb. I got up and somehow convinced myself to take a shower before J got home to take me to my appointment with Dr W.
The appointment was difficult. I hate having to tell people I don’t feel very well, even when they’re my doctor and that’s the kind of stuff they do. As always, Dr W was helpful and very patient with me.
The bad news is he doesn’t have any quick fixes for how I feel right now. He bumped my venlafaxine up to 225mg but it will take a while for it to kick in. He also gave me assurances that even though I’m on a lot of stuff there is still a lot of room to increase my medications if we need to.
The good news is I’m now completely off the daily lorazepam. I still have it for a rescue medication if I need it but I haven’t taken it for that in quite a while. Despite the venlafaxine increase, I’m pleased that I’m totally off one of my medications.
Stay safe.
