New Doctor

I saw the new psychiatrist today. He's from Kuwait. His English was ok but I did have a job understanding a few things and he misinterpreted me a lot.
He said my problem (after a few seconds of meeting me) were that I had work burn out. It was common. He said something about changing my hours, for a second I thought he was going to suggest I gave up.
He asked about sleeping. My sleep is bad... why? because the drug withdrawal won't allow my brain to rest. The brain storms or zaps or sparkies, that hit your brain. They aren't painful just horrid. They make you stop in your tracks and feel like someone's trying to take over your head. I'm not entirely sure if you havent experienced it that you'd understand.
Anyways, I said I slept poorly so he suggested a course of sleeping pills. FFS! More pills? I don't think so.
He then told me to reduce the effexor to 50 mgs. I helpfully pointed out that wasn't possible as they don't come in that dose.
So he said drop to 37.5 for 2 weeks and stop.
To say I'm worried is an understatement. How am I going to function? At about 8pm I can't even speak. The words refuse to come out.
Well watch this space. Hmmm there are some out there that may say Trin without words would be terribly nice!!
