Thank you all for your help, suport and advice , it really has helped.

I've been feeling a bit better this last day or so; eating, all be it small meals, sleeping a bit better and feeling a lot less anexiety and depressed.

However I have to cut my Zopcloine from 7.5 to 3.5mg and loose another 2mg of my Valium (will be down to 8mg day then). on Tuesday, so I think I might be for a rough few days then!

Think the combo of my body getting use to the Venlafaxine and all its side effects + all the different meds I've been on lately wasn't a good for me say the least!!

I may have quite a few 'downs' to come but it's nice to feel an 'up' for a change

Think the Venlafaxine may be working at last (touch wood) :)




Very good to hear that things are looking up for you.

It just occurred to me as well, have you read Temple Grandin writing about anti depressants and ASD? I read in one of her books that she believes that people with autism/aspergers need lower doses of anti depressants in order for them to be effective, and in fact normal doses can make them feel ill. I think she bases this on research in the US.

Anyway, I hope you continue to feel better.
