So, it's been 3 or 4 weeks since upping my Effexor dose... and it appears whatever changes that it has brought about in receptor function, etc. have taken place. Cause today I woke up feeling that familiar SRI numbness. Yuck.
So is the depression gone? In a way, yes. In a way, no. It's still there... but there's a concrete wall in the way and I can't get to it. This may sound like a good thing, but I don't enjoy the feeling of knowing I should be upset or sad or mad at something, and NOT being able to. I can sense the emotion, I can KNOW the emotion.. but I can't feel it. This doesn't improve my situation any... well, I probably won't be crying all the time or slicing at my arms anymore. But numbness is the price I have to pay. Blah.
