@rufus31- I think you mentioned something about a long-time prescription no longer working as well in another thread?

Please do be in touch with your provider or their nurse/receptionist today. I've found that providers do try to help on the double with any mental health/mental health medication issues that arise.

Is your provider aware of what a tough time you've had lately? If so, how did they respond?

Yes indeed, that was me. I'm still in the "waiting" period to see if this last increase is going to be effective. To date, it clearly has not. According to my Psych. and what I've read, the uptake period can take longer as we get older.
My next appointment with him is at the end of this month, that will have been almost 8 weeks since the increase. If there is no movement to the positive side, we will have to look into a Plan B.
I feel stuck in a purgatory of SO hoping the increase will take hold ( I try really, really not to give up on Hope, even when it is transient) and so afraid of what my next hell will be if it doesn't.

@lisalucier I always keep my PCP informed.
