Crawling out of my skin with formless anxiety set in yesterday afternoon; as of a little while ago I am On The Edge Of Tears. I suspect this means that I don't get on terribly well, still, with being under-medicated for depression: nothing has gone wrong, I'm being plausibly productive, but everything is terrifying and overwhelming and I'm tensing up a lot.

I think the sensible thing to do, given that I can't see my GP again until second week of August, is to bump myself back up to 30 until ~a week before I see him, then go back down to 15, then hot switch to something else (probably fluoxetine). Which is... tedious.

The other option is to try gritting my teeth through another week and see how it goes, but I'm on day 20 of my cycle so I really shouldn't be getting the horrifying brainwrong as a result of that at this point, so.

Your sensible plan sounds like a sensible plan.

Tedious may be tedious, but sounds better than the alternative. Better a month of sufficiently medicated than one of formless anxiety. Effectively it's just time-shifting the problem to when you can have timely advice on it.

Ugh. I hope your brain stops being dumb soon!

Am going to flag up that over the past ~3 weeks you have also been exposed to a non-trivial amount of WTFery going on in your greater social networks, which can have knock-on effects to the moods of those around.

I see we are on the same happy pills again. :-/

Erk. I hope that fluoxetine does something good for you. Currently in a similar-ish scrabbling-for-meds state.

It's been too long for me to recall whether Mirtazapine was supposed to help with our/general anxiety, but it didn't for us, either, fwiw.
