thanks for the info. I still have my good and bad times but alot better than when I hit rock bottom. I think that with the realization that I really do want to be here, my family's love and support and the meds... well I feel alot better. I thought things were going to be worst than what they really were. I still get anxiety attacks and my patience is shot, so I'm working on that... but I don't have that desperation feeling anymore. YEAH! :)
As far as the Paxil, I was on that for the last 4 years and I just got worst. I am on it with the effexor and I hope between the two I will do better. I have had 2 "episodes" in the past 2 nights of just getting hot. Not Sweating, just hot. So maybe the effexor is starting to kick in. But, the Trazadone... killer stuff! I take on of those at bedtime and I sleep very well and when I wake up I feel refreshed and ready to go!!!
The other day when I raised the effexor to 75mg instead of 37.5mg, I had the worst headache all day long. So I take my 50mg of Trazadone at bed time, head hurt very bad so I got up and took a second Trazadone(which the p-doc told me to do if I needed to) and I was out in minutes and the only problem was I couldn't wake up in the morning and I was dragging butt all day long. I couldn't get going for nothing! So I am not taking two pills at night again.I hope your meds are going good and that you are feeling better. Keep me informed of you progress or problems.
Take care
Nyia
