Well ... my reaction to Effexor has been both good and bad. The side effects from starting it were not that bad ... but now at 225 ... it just seems to have stopped working. It did nothing for the visions but I guess for a while it alleviated the depression. I only wish he would have told me how addictive it is and how hard it is to get off from.
I went to see my doc and he suggested to go up to 300 and take Zyprexa instead of Seroquel ... but I dunno ... I'm seriously considering just stopping meds altogether. I mean I still have suicidal thoughts ... I still cry ... I still have ups and downs so I'm not quite sure that I' feel any different ... aside from being a bit more nervous. And those anti-psychotics just scare me. They turned me into a zombie when I took them so I prefer my strange visions.
I get the repetitive music sometimes as well. Like if I'm in a store and there is some song and then it stops, I'll keep hearing some parts of it repeating itself over and over again in my head ... usually only a sentence or two. Its majorly annoying ... same with conversations from the past taht pop up for no reason ... I hear them over and over like a broken record.
I say my therapist and she is going to call the psychiatrist ... I'm lucky she's a very nice one ... unlike my doctor who doesn't seem to know what he's doing...
