ANd.. well. WHy did I bother?? he has put me BACK to Effexor, but I refused to take anything other than 300mg... when I was lowered to 22m,g I got really lathargic and felt myself slipping back down hill.. anyway, he told me that I;'d imagined the lathargy at lower doeses, and that I should be worse at 300mg!!!
At which point I burst into tears - silly I know, but i couldn't help it.
I ahve to go back in three weeks... if there is no improvement he is arranging for me to go into hospital for 3 weeks. I asked about day hospital and he said there isn't any near us (I know for a fact there is) and it would be pointless. he also said he will investigate ECT while I'm in as he is reaching the end of anythng he can do for me, so maybe ect is the answer.
I never thought I'd hear that.
SO... I am going to try and avoid going back to him. I'm going to speak to my mum and ask if she can lend me money to go private... he's a bastard as far as I'm concerned and useless with it.
There!!! Had my rant!
