I don't mind food restrictions, as long as the med is helping.
I question whether I should even present the depression to my doc now. I have serious insomnia and also anxiety. He may think the depression to due to that, rather than depression itself. I don't feel this way though. I've been depressed almost a whole year, which a little remission around Nov/Dec (when I was taking Effexor, huh, guess there's a link!).
Most of this time my insomnia was well treated. I also have a history, but then again he may think that this is more likely due to my history of anxiety.
This is all speculation though. I haven't even mentioned the idea to him or even hinted at it. Ughhh 2 weeks til my appointment and I may chicken out. On the other hand, I am about ready to drop out school because I'm so unhappy/tired/hopeless.
I'll definitely tell him that there's no way I'm going back to school unless I think I may sleep more than 2-4 hours a night b/c the lack of rest is killing me. That's definitely understandable. But I don't know what else to say to drive the point home.
