> >I found a guy, at a primary care facility no less, and he actually prescribed me a one time, 30 day supply of Selegeline. He seemed to really care about not wanting me to die. First doc that really seemed to care that I've seen in a while, so I made him my PCP.

(or even starting an SSRI too?) Could have sworn a few pdocs told me that. I think the longest I've ever waited was a week though. The first two days I was off Nardil I felt "ok", which was odd, because when I went off of Nardil a few months ago, I got those horrible crying attacks right away.. maybe I went off it cold turkey.. dunno. I don't recall.
The PCP is only going to write me the one 30 day supply of Selly. He told me to get a shrink for ongoing scripts. So I'm back on that again, but they aren't TRD experts or even close. No one around here is. On about the 3rd day I felt really tired, and slept most of the day away and felt my chemical depression coming back. The "love-live" depression, never went away is worse that ever. I'm curious to see how long I can go without AD meds. The sooner I start Selly, the sooner it's just gonna poop out. I'd like to at least have a p-doc before I start again. Who knows.
I'm more upset about my love-life, the constant headaches I've been getting for a 2-3 weeks now, and 24/7 stomach pain. Got my 3rd appt at the gastro PA tomorrow, Dr. is still a week away. The stomach pain is the most annoying because it just plain doesn't stop, ever. It just goes from bad to really bad, then back to bad again.
Who knows, I might pop a Selly tonight, but might wait for the upper GI test they wanna run tomorrow to check for an ulcer or something like it.
Still talking to myself while I lie in bed and can't sleep, "dreaming out loud" I guess. It just makes me more sad because I can't stop thinking of all the cool, very realistic things love-life type stuff that "could" easily happen in real life, but just doesn't. I'd probably take a chainsaw to my tv if someone made me watch another love story movie. When the guy is almost always less attractive than the woman. I can't take it anymore.
