Hi Willow, I think sometimes when we "add meds on our own" is ok-if we do it responsibly. I have done this and often get condemned for it. I don't overdose anymore and if one is very knowledgeable and again, responsible in doing this, I really think it is ok, and may help the psychiatrist out, really, in terms of allowing them to see what works and what doesn't. So I won't say don't add it on your own-cuz I'm just as guilty of it.
Take Care:-)

> When I started the effexor xr, I found taking it twice during the day helped with the headache. Now I'm able to take it in the morning only, though I do think some of the symptoms I get in the evening may be caused from the once a day dosing. Hmmm... will ask psychiatrist if okay to add afternoon dosage again. (probably end up adding it on my own though)
