As of yesterday, we're down to 75 mg venlafaxine and up to 100 mg sertraline, alongside our 150 mg bupropion. Can't wait to be entirely off venlafaxine now.

Definitely getting the feeling already that 100 mg sertraline won't be enough by itself, so getting ready to ask for an increase in the prescription to 150 mg sertraline daily.

The bupropion is continuing to work its magic. Having to get reaccustomed to hyperfocusses though... and not getting snappy if someone interrupts them 😅

Also, looks like we picked a fun time to move to sertraline: many pharmacies are having trouble getting hold of it 🙃

Guess what we've just ordered on IndiaMart to give us a backup supply?

@SleepyCatten why did you get of venlaflaxin? (I am also it.)

@Makuru We'd gone the whole way up to 375 mg (the max dose) and it just wasn't helping us.

Plus we wanted to switch from an SNRI to an SSRI, so that we could take an NDRI (bupropion) alongside it.

Plus the venlafaxine dreams were always so messed up. We are not sad to see those go away.

Though the NDRI is helping us remember our dreams more and some of them are just weird anyway 😅
