Hi Phillipa,
This private psychiatrist is the only person who has given me any encouragement and hope, hope being the key word. She actually said that there are a lot more medications and combos that I still haven't tried which made me feel better. However, I'm not really sure she knows just how many meds I have already tried.
I was just getting to the stage, a couple of months ago, where I was thinking that nothing was working and perhaps if I came off everything and started from scratch three months later then perhaps Seroxat would work again.
I know it's a long shot and I'm not sure there's any rationale behind it (neither did she think there was any rationale behind it) but it's worth trying. She just seems to support me in what I want to do which is what I want. Mindyou I'm paying her £150 to do it :-)
As far as work goes, I'm still able to do temp work and I know I still do a good job but to be honest it feels a lot harder since coming off medication. I feel like not working until I go back on meds again but what would be the point in that, I'd just hang around the house feeling like crap instead of being at work. I have hardly any energy, I feel like I'm dragging myself around, I feel nauseas in the morning, my sleep is disturbed by dreams and then I go to bed just feeling tired and washed out as well.
Anyway, I won't carry on moaning, I know life's really hard for you with your awful anxiety and hormone problems.
Thanks for asking though.
Denise
