I'm sorry you're so depressed, Mari
I hope that your pdoc agrees to increase it, and it helps. I think you should be able to adjust to the sedation given enough time
That's good to know. I will ask pdoc when I see her.

In the past an increased dose made me sleepier and it gave me paresthesia (weird feelings in my ears mostly)--
-- I think I might have tried to increase it twice before but I am willing to try increasing it again since I do not seem to have a lot of options.
