User sleep has once again been inconsistent. Almost like i am back tracking now and am in a haze/ not myself. Think i may take my pdoc's advise next week and up the Fetzima to 80mg from 40mg. When i first started taking it, it felt like it was turning me in the right direction but now not so much. Perhaps the increase dosage would help with depression, DP/DR symptoms in having?

Any way i got a room for me and my new GF at the grand hyatt in NYC august 1st to be a nice romantic first small getaway. Looking forward to that. I must say although me and my fiance didnt work out and i lost the $9k deposit on the wedding venue this new girl who is 24 (me turning 29 august 12th) is in everyway ALOT better and very happy relationship wise. Everyone at work also sees a positive change as well!

So saturday ill be upping my dosage to 80mg on the Fetzima as per my psych doctor. I also asked her opinion on weening off the klonopin. She said 7-10 days @.25mg then another 7-10 days @.125mg/day. Feeling weird into the third day today but i suppose skme withdrawal symptoms are likely even though ive only been on it since march @.5mg/day.

Hoping my life will be getting better mentally sooner than later folks

I hope the increase works. You may experience some withdrawal symptoms but be sure to notify your doc if you don't feel well.

USER i called my Pdoc today regarding my klonopin dosage decrease from .5 to .25mg/day and she said i am experiencing withdrawal symptoms with the change of dosage. Not so much the mg dosage but the fact that in cutting my existing dosage from .5 to .25mg that is was perscribed in march now. She said to do .5
Mg one day then next day .25 mg. It would be a better gradual step down. Def have been feeling more DR/DP feelings because of the Klonopin weening but nothing i feel i cannot handle.

Have my next appointment friday with her. The 80mg dosage of Fetzima has worked well for me and she said it will take sometime now for the 80mg to take effect. Im feeling better more anxious since friday due to the K-pin change. Overall though no depression symptoms that are clearly visible IMO. Thanks for the concern

I hope the withdrawal symptoms will subside soon.

Hope you continue to feel better and your app goes well on Fri.
