You've got quite a chemical soup in your body: Effexor, Ambien, Vicodin and pot. Try not to add anything new to the mix until you've maintained a level of stability for a few weeks. If you can, keep a daily journal of your physical and mental condition, so that you can monitor what happens as your dosages change. (That's the one thing I can't seem to do, and it has caused so many problems!)

As for me, I went to see my counsellor today, at the request of my shrink. It wasn't a total waste of time, because the counsellor supported my feelings against the Effexor, and will speak to the shrink about it. The counsellor said there's no reason to continue on a drug that causes me such physical misery and we should have tried a few of the many other drugs on the market. I suppose I should be thankful; however, now that I've had to increase my Effexor dosage, I'll have to go through the withdrawal again. Can you ever win?
