Wow I think that I am taking a lots of meds now. I take 300 mg Lithum, 37.5 mg Effexor, and 100 mg Seroquel in the am. 300 mg of lithium at noon. 100 mg Seroquel and 300 mg Lithium at 5. Then 600 mg Seroquel at bedtime. After a week my Effexor changes to 75 mg in the am. I really feel like I'm taking too much. I take more than my granny. I don't know what to do anymore.

awwwwwww. I know meds can be overwhelming in themselves. If they are helping you though, maybe you can think of them as a vitamin that keeps you going. Wish you the best of luck

If it makes you feel any better, 37.5 or 75 mg's of Effexor isn't a high dose! I have a friend who's on
300-something mg's and I was on 225 mg's.

That is a high flippin' amount of meds, though.

(((kathie))) Are all the meds prescribed by the same doctor? That should give you some assurance. You can always ask questions of the doctor, and express your concern about taking "so much." Let the doctor explain why to you, and if you forget you can ask again!
