Hi everyone. As usual I've gained from all of these posts. I did call my pdoc and let him know of the continued reaction. For now I am stopping my old med which I had only resumed a week ago. We will discuss it at my next visit (weekly).I've realized that it is best not to make these decisions in the middle of a med reaction.

In my early thirties I was diagnosed with depression by a GP. Two years ago I decided to seek out a good pdoc in order to confirm a correct diagnosis. Depression was confirmed along with PTSD and anxiety. I have an excellent pdoc and feel fortunate to have been referred to him.

Your posts have made me realize a couple of key points. Medications are important to my recovery. Just because I had a bad reaction doesn't mean they are all bad and that I have to quit taking them. Another example of my black and white thinking. Also, we need dialogue with others who know us and our diagnosis in order to guard against relapse. This is beginning to sink in finally.

I still think taking a holiday from myself is important though. Ya gotta learn to laugh at yourself sometimes. Life can be quite funny at times.
