Thanks everyone. I will note all of your experiences and see how I do in comparison.

Faye,

Thats the general thought too, That my effexor may be throwing me into a hypomanic state.

So hopefully this will do er. I was taking clonazepam AND ativan, but honestly I dont like taking the clonaze for sleep too, because then I dont have anything that works for anxiety attacks because i build up a tolerance. My doctor is the same with the addiction thing to and thinks I can always "make do" with 30 every few months. While I dont take it when I dont need to, every so often I NEED to take it on a regular basis to "reset" myself, I guess you could say.
