I think yes to question about relapses. Snce I first went on meds I have gotten situational mini-episodes, if you could call them that, on average about once a year, always after some sort of relationship conflict or loss. I think my depression/anxiety has been more situational than "organic." The mini-episodes clear up after a week. I can function in those episodes, but it does disrupt sleep and eating, and I cry more often and get "what if" thinking. It was during one of those episodes that my doc recommended going up to 15.
It's so hard to decide what to do! But I seem ok on the 12.5 Lex and the 15 Remeron. I felt a little icky Monday morning, but I think that was because I didn't get enough sleep Sunday night and ate too much sugar over the wknd. I have learned that I have to be so very vigilant about sleep and eating when it comes to my moods.
Well, thanks so much for everyone's input!
