I cannot go above the lowest dose,since i become sedated which does not go away...pretty much true for all of the 15 diff meds ive been on...either that or heaches that never go away...ive done psychotherapy, and will go back when i have health insurance..right now my worry is these meds theyre utting me on and taking me off...i dont care if the dep doesnt go away i just dont want to ache all day and feel totally exhausted and have headaches.....and nothing else is wrong with me ive had tons of physicals, blood test, sleep tests, heart tests and any other test  you could think of.........
