dear all,
thank you!
i have an appointment with pdoc on monday. anxiety is mounting everyday--i am shaking and grinding my teeth; boyfriend nearly kicked me out of bed because i couldn't stop jerking around (a major twitch once every minute or so). but he says my personality is better, that this is the sar he originally liked before i got on meds! this baffles me because i feel terrible (mainly jittery and very unsure).
a nurse at the hospital said that i'd probably fare better on celexa or wellbutrin, which now confuses me because i've remembered that celexa is sedating and wellbutrin can cause anxiety.
none of my pants fit anymore and i was a size 6, damn! now i am busting out of eights and tens. this is ridiculous, heinous! i'd thought that prozac/klonopin/neurontin were all free of weight-gain side-effects.
when i took the overdose of about 80 neurontin and 9 (weekly dose) prozacs, i really thought that i wanted to die. and then immediately i didn't. i don't know, i was drunk.
the pdocs at the state hospital said they didn't want to put me on anything because i seemed fine and had an "overdose history." somehow one overdose constitutes a "history." i'm shaking so badly that at noon today i tried to pour myself a glass of wine to calm down, and half off it sloshed over my hand.
