1 Year and 6 Months on Effexor | Depression Treatment Record

Medication dosage

Effexor dosage remains the same (37.5mg). Increased sleep medication Dayvigo (2.5mg → 5mg).

This is how the past month went.

This month, too, I continued to notice small daily changes, record them, form hypotheses, visualize, take small actions to reach those visualizations, and observe what happened to me as a result.

I simply watched my own changes through physical sensations, emotional fluctuations, what is called work, and interactions with others.

A strange state where things seem to be going well, yet not quite going well.

Regarding sleep, there were days when I slept plenty, and there were also times when I couldn't sleep well, leading to significant emotional swings. Since I was concerned about the overall quality of my sleep, I consulted my doctor before it got worse and increased the Dayvigo to 5mg. I felt like my sleep state improved a little.

I started one new thing this month. I decided it was time to hire a personal trainer to properly train my body and attempt to improve my physical constitution. I would be happy if this helps me find a lead for treating my stagnant male menopause.

What I feel while continuing treatment is that, no matter how far you go, humans are alone. No one can save me. That is why I must save myself.
