Stopped Fighting the Dose Increase

For those like me, you want to be in control and take as little as possible and for over a year, I fought my psychiatrist on increasing my dose from 75 to 100mg for anxiety. I always wanted to get off the meds but never could.

I went down rabbit holes, addressing mthfr issues (low folate, b12 and high homcysteine). While this improved physical related issues, it didn't touch my anxiety

On Monday, I said f it, I'm done suffering and accepted my fate. It's only been 6 days but I've never had a dose increase of any medication go so well, like it's literally washing my anxiety away, I was more focused at work this week and my energy is back.

While I anticipate this might still be bumpy in the weeks to come, I'm absolutely shocked to see such a change so quickly. It's almost like my body was waiting for more serotonin friends.
