On different med now

Yeah, I went to see the doctor, now on sertraline instead of venlafaxine. I really feel lousy today, got a busy week ahead I'll have to try push through my brain taking a pounding with all this messing with meds

At least it's been fairly settled with my girlfriend last couple of days

Stewy, it's usually tough to change/switch meds, but hopefully the result will be a success. It's good that you went back to the dr to discuss this issue.

Thanks Anna. I really need to be grateful I'm functioning and able to work. I have to consider that a forward step compared to where I was at the turn of the year

That sounds like the best course of action, Stewy. It sounds like you're moving to a better space in life.
