Shipwrecked in an oasis
Well, gonna try taking my EffexorXR (150mg) in the morning instead of just after lunch... past two weeks have been awful - listless, zero energy - during the day, with a peak of energy around early-late evening (4-8 hrs after my dosage). So I either need to take it first thing when I get up, or switch it to when I go to bed (gonna try taking it first thing in the mornings and see how I feel around lunchtime for a few days). On the scale of 0-100 that the pharmacologist uses, past two weeks have been 60s (while I was around 80-90 at the end of August). Not sure if I'll ask them to bump up my dosage when I go in for my 2 month consultation or not (leaning towards finally bumping it up since I've been at 150mg since my first visit back in early June).
OTOH, the Ambien (10mg) has been very effective at putting me to sleep at night. Downside is that I'm essentially "drunk" for 6-8 hrs after taking the pill (which means I have to go to bed at a reasonable hour, like midnight). Still trying to get a handle on my sleep schedule so that I go to bed at a good time and get a good night's sleep.
