Katy, what's the extension on your email? Such and such @ (what).com? That way I can just check to see if I have it blocked for some reason or another and unblock it.Ummmmm, honestly, your health is what matters most right now so you should be upfront to your Doctor about how you feel. That you need to feel like you can trust him so he should be more open to you about what you discuss. If not, maybe he should recommend another Doctor? That might be tough to confront him like that, but yeah, that's what I would recommend.
Did you stop taking your ummmm (Zoloft? Is that it) completely? When I quit my Effexor completely within a week my depression set in pretty deeply. I find that the MS's really help keep you from getting too high, but they don't do too much about your lows. Krysti has told me that with Trileptal she doesn't feel either too high or too low, but it's only been a few weeks now so...
Anyways, if you quit your AD completely, maybe you should start on another one at a very small dose. I'm taking 20mg of Celexa right now every morning and it really helps. I'm not depressed anymore, and I've only felt "slightly" hypomanic for the first few days I was on it. I have more energy than I did previously, but then again, I've been barely doing anything now for like 7 months... I'm starting to get restless dammit! and it's not from the medications lol
The appetite thing, I can totally relate to it. I still have almost zero appetite. Some days I just force myself to eat what I think is appropriate. Been really watching the types of foods I eat too. Other days, I'll smoke a nice spliff and then eat once the munchies set in. Either way though, I'm still getting enough in to keep me healthy.
