Hey everyone
I've been very stupid in the last few weeks, and as a result I'm feeling quite down
I was doing OK about a month ago on a combination of Effexor and Remeron/Mirtazapine
For some stupid reason I decided to discontinue this combination, partly because of the weight gain and partly because it hadn't been very helpful for Social Anxiety.After I discontinued these meds I felt alright for a week, then I began to get depressed and anxious again.
I should have restarted the Mirtaz/Effexor, but instead I made an appointment with a new Pdoc in London.
I couldn't make up my mind whether to go or not, so in the end I went but I was very tired and stressed
I came across very badly at the appointment, and the doctor wasn't very sympathetic, I hoped he'd put me on Nardil, but instead he chose Marplan.
For some reason he also put me on 10mgs, the minimun effective dose is 30mgs?!He also wanted me to go into CBT at 60 pounds ($104) a session, how am I supposed to pay for that? (like most UK people I have no issurance)
I don't know what to do, should I keep taking the Marplan and trie and work up to an effective dose?
Or should I go back to Mirtaz/Effexor?Why is it so hard to find good Pdocs in the UK?
