Mandy,
You took a good step by going to your doctor today.  And following his advice will be other big steps for you.  

I think that your doctor wanting you to stop being on Medhelp was because he wants you to instead reach out to people in person.  But feel free to tell us why you think he asked you to do this.

If you take your doctor's advice to double your Effexor, that will be a HUGE step in helping yourself

I will miss you very much and look forward to the time when you can contact us in the future to tell us about the gains that you have made in your life.  

You deserve great credit for your steps forward.  Wish you the best.  You take care.
Love, Sara

We are your friends here.  Don't say goodbye.  Please stay.  Your doctor cannot tell you who you can "talk" to online.  That is your business alone.

Only leave if you think he is right about it making your more depressed.  You have people here who care about you.  We don't want you to feel worse, but I thought perhaps we were helping you just by listening.
