Yes, it's true. I mean, I think that there could be other times when I was feeling "better" in general, that I would not be so upset about the stupid skein. But, right now, crocheting has become for me something to look forward to and something that calms me a bit, and I am also so close to finishing the blanket... it's very frustrating to go from store to store trying to find this one friggin color, and not find it. And I think to myself "what am I gonna do if I can't crochet?" I even considered buying some different yarn to start a new project. But I didn't.
I've counted my meds, and all-in-all, I've taken 12 different things, some alone, some with each other. My doctor is totally willing to do complex combos, and he doesn't seem to be adverse to trying things that aren't that typical. But it did bother me a little bit last week, because he said not to go above 60mg of Parnate, and also that I can't take a stimulant with Parnate. But I've found on this board as well as doing google searches and such, that people do both of these things. I feel like he could have looked into it more.
I can't believe your doctor said he's sick and tired of it! Doctors aren't supposed to be sick and tired of it - they are supposed to help you and keep trying no matter what. Do you see just a GP for your psych meds? My psychiatrist did say to me last week that he's frustrated too, but it was more of a "we're in this together" sort of thing rather than he's annoyed.
I love the web too. I find out so much info about drugs, among other things. And it can be a good way to wile (?) the hours away!
