Isn't one way to get around your dosing problem to have your oxy ground and compounded by a compounding pharmacy into smaller doses? This could be in pill or lotion form. My pdoc had mentioned to me that one of his patients was having a lot of side effects and was allergic to certain meds and that they started compounding them into lotions that she applies on her skin, which seemed to help. Anyway just a thought.Actually that might have been a good idea for my first increase. At this point I realize that I probably need to go up a full dose to feel the anti-depressant effects. I am taking my old doses, and strattling an extra one in the middle, to keep the dose down somewhat. But if I am suffering too much I will take my own advice to you, re going around once. :-) Unlike opiates, however; in my experience, I have never had to raise my dose of benzos for sleep.
You should have thought of this earlier. < g >
