In reply to d/r + experts - desperate for help w/my meds, posted by Amelia_in_StPaul on April 21, 2009, at 13:12:24
after all your suggestions, my psychiatrist put me on pristiq. why? I don't know. I know, but it still doesn't seem like a great choice. and it didn't help my confidence that she had piles of samples right there as though a drug rep had just stopped by (but hey, maybe she got them out in anticipation of our appt--I can try to be optimistic).
my psychiatrist--new psychiatrist--also said I read too much and that while having no knowledge is not a good thing, having a lot of knowledge isn't so hot either. and psychiatry isn't my field. well, duh.
d@mn, I am just not finding anybody I can jive with. then again, the last person I liked did squat for me, just allowed me to do whatever I wanted, including stop taking my meds, which is how I landed in hell. and I had to pay out of pocket for the pleasure.
eh, feeling down. today is my first day of pristiq. waves of different side effects--1st hour, wired and tired, 2nd hour, face flushed and feeling nausea, nausea continued for hours, and now, I'm just feeling wired. what a m&ndf^ck. someone tell me there's a light at the end of the tunnel and all that....
