Hmmmm...I'm trying to think about my periods...I don't think so as far as the Cytomel was concerend...maybe but certainly nothing as noticeable as being "clinically depressed." Sometimes I felt a little more down than others but I think when you suffer from depression your hormone changes are kind of like playing Russian Roulette anyway!
How are you doing today? My withdrawal is making me feel really yucky. Damn Effexor! I didn't feel so negatively towards it the first time coming off...fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame one me? I'm almost tempted to go see my doc today and ask for some Prozac. I think you can take Prozac and Wellbutrin together.
Everything is really starting suffer. My job, my homelife, my school life. It's like, I don't have TIME to feel this shitty...I've got too much to do! That's one of the REAL downers about depression...when you feel motivated enough to keep going but not well enough actually achieve anything. It's so fraustrating!
Just picking up the phone right now...okay, 12:45 and I'm there. Maybe it is time to try this Prozac option.
I guess the reason I went off it was because I was investigating some other drugs (incl. MAOIs) that I'm assuming didn't react with Cytomel. I went back on the Effexor and seemed to be fine on only 75mg. How that could be after needing 375mg plus the Cyt. was a miracle--or so we thought. In hindsight it's an intolerance or a sensitivity...I developed all of those icky side effects (night sweats, nightmares, spontaneous orgasm, spasms, sleep paralysys, seizures or at least seizure-like activity.) No thanks.
I guess I'll have to see how I fare after this withdrawal clears up...once I normalize to see if I need the Cytomel anymore...
Take care,
Karen
