I noticed on the last post that I said that I started taking Effexor on November 20th, which is what I thought too. Last night, I couldn't remember if I had taken my pill so I went through and did the math by counting pills. Here is what I had in my notes:
That I took 1 pill per day of Pristiq at 50 mg through November 17, 2011 when I had my appointment with Dr. K. I agree that I started taking 2 pills per day of the Pristiq at 50 mg for a total of 100 mg per day on November 18th.
I had 22 tablets left in the bottle. The packages that he gave me had 7 in it so it had to be 21, or 28. Since 28 makes since with 22 tabs left, that would mean that I took 2 pills on the 18th, 19th and 20th.
Which means that I started the Effexor on November 21, 2011 and not on November 20th. This also worked out with my pills in the Effexor bottle. I had 23 pills left in the bottle which meant that I took 7 pills. So, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 makes 7 days and I was pretty sure that I hadn't taken my pill when I got home so I took one last night. I didn't feel any different so I'm pretty sure that this math is right.
Pristiq 50 mg thru 11/7
Pristiq 100 mg 11/18 thru 11/20
Effexor 75 mg starting 11/21
