Let me know how you get on.
I have what they call a "medication-resistant" depression. Over the years I switched meds several times and nothing really worked. Well, not in any good sense (I did have some enjoyable manic state from one of them..) so that's why I'm on high doses. I think Borderline Personality is a harder nut to crack with drugs than "just" depression.
I'm not.. on good terms, so to speak, with my therapist, but I should really check this stupid viepax arrangement with her. Buying 3 different boxes of Viepax has become a nuisance to say the least.
anyway, hope I'll sort this one quickly
Thanks for replying :)
Hi, Venlafaxine hydrochloride is Viepax. Viepax is the generic form of Effexor. I take 150mg Effexor at breakfast, and it releases during the day.
When I was given Viepax, I did not find it as effextive as Effexor, and asked to be put back on Effexor. Feel much better now.
You are taking a lot of Venlafaxine over a day, unlike some, who take a daily dose. Perhaps there was a reason for this in your case. There are XP versions, and XL versions. The difference is in the release time. Have you looked this up on the internet? 2 tablets of 37.5 will do for the 75mg, until you see doctor. You are on quite a large dosage, so I suppose not taking the 75mg gives you withdrawal symptoms. I think someone else will have to explain if there is harm in taking XL and XP together. I shouldn't have thought so in the short term. Ask your doctor all these questions when you see them.Sounds very complicated. Why did the doctor split your dosage like this, instead of a daily dose. Is it because you are on such a high dosage?
