(I wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Sorry if it's in the wrong place [emoji53])

So I had a psych appointment today. This is the 3rd time I've seen this doctor and I like him pretty well so far. I've been on effexor and abilify for years now, and while they do seem to help somewhat, I'm more stable on them than off them, they're not helping nearly enough. I was on the 150mg dose of effexor until about a month ago when my doc increased it to 225. (Still on 20mg abilify) I still dont feel like its helping enough or maybe not in the right way. My doctor wants me to stay on it for another 3 weeks though just to make sure.

I'm so frustrated at how slow this progress is. I feel so helpless as Bipolar and anxiety keep trampling over my life while I just have to wait it out for another 3 weeks. I know I'll get there eventually but right now it's so, so hard. [emoji17]
