Kimberly, I am climbing the walls at my house as well. Not working and cannot get away from this thing in my head I can barely use every ounce of energy to not think of hurting myself. I feel for you and I have no answers. One day at a time and that is too much for me today. IF Strattera doesn't do something rapidly i am going to lose it? Keep on keepin' on.

> After having my therapist implore me to up my Effexor dosage back to 150mg at least until the holidays are over with... I did. But you know, going up from 75mg to 150mg a day is worse than the decrease. After each dosage, my hands tingle and my mind tingles. This feels like giving up land that I won in a bloody battle, but I'm falling apart. I can taper off from 150mg to 75mg to eventually zero in Jan of 2004. Hopefully, 150mg of Effexor and 50mg of Imipramine will be enough to stop my frequent crying jags for now. I want to beg my pdoc to give me something to make me stop hurting so bad.
