I am currently:
Medication

I'm currently on 150mg of Effexor XR
25-50mg or Seriquel
and I pop a couple Ativan when I need them.

Today, my psychiatrist (whom I've been seeing for 4 years) told me she's gonna raise my dosage of Effexor XR up 225mg. I don't know how I feel about this, I'm not sure I really feel anything. Sometimes I think I'm too medicated, and other times I think I need more. The reason for raising the meds is because it's just not helping anymore. I can't make it to school anymore, it's hard just leaving the house. I'm too anxious and Panicky. And because of the increased anxiety, my OCD rituals have been out of control. I've started hallucinating again. I feel so all over the place. My emotions never seem to fit anything that's going on, they just come out of no where.
I don't know what to do anymore.
I don't want to have to fight through every day. Just give me one good day, and that'll give me something to strive for.

anyways, i just wanted to ask anyone on a higher dosage of medication..
Does it get any better?

In case anyone is wondering, my official diagnoses:
Major Depressive Disorder
Psychosis NOS
OCD
Social Phobia and GAD/Panic Disorder
I've been diagnosed with Anorexia and Bulimia in the past, currently EDNOS I guess.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

I was never on higher that 150 efexor. It didn't help me so my meds were changed. I've read that at higher doses the anti-anxiety part kicks in more. So that might really help you.
