Dear Mark,
Gosh. Thank you for your kind words. Your Wellbutrin (you did say Wellbutrin, right?) caused short term memory gave me new hope over something I've been fighting w/ for a long time.
Like I forgot my check yesterday, leaving it on the roof of the car to blow away, and now every time I go to a mall I need to get security to help me find my car, tonight I was wondering if I ever had a memory at all, and gosh, I had no idea it could be my presious Wellbutrin. I've been on 50 ADs or so, and one reason I dig WB is that it makes me very amorous and sexually keyed up, and I like that, in case I meet a possible suitor I'll be raring to go. When on all the other meds I had NO sex drive or interest, and when I did masturbate (oh, dear, we're adults though, so...) it was a horrible experience, approaching release and then ZIP, where'd it go? I'd usually just give up in disgust.So now I guess I'll be asking for something new.
I did like Serzone, but I don't know if that works like Wellbutrin, I imagine my pdoc will want to do something similar.
Any ideas?As for compliance, I'll do it! My pdoc and I have so many power struggles that I don't know what's driving his responses anymore, but the last time I mentioned non-compliance he acted like I'd slashed his tires. There's not a lot of linear verbiage from him, just these kinetically fascinating demonstrations of effrontery attenuated by an equally dramatic struggle for self-restraint. He also grunts at me and says things like
I don't care what you do trouble, you do what you want, fine, go ahead, (mumble, grunt, frantic note-taking).
It seems everyone else on PSB demands a lot more maturity from their pdoc, but I've been fired by all his predecessors so I guess I'm lucky. He's well known and respected, and that counts too.
I apologize for all this blathering, but just the thought of seeing him since last month's blow-up has got the anxiety cranking. I had an app't w/ him this week and I moved it to next month, but I guess it's time to force the issue. He's computer-phobic and I'm afraid he'll break my balls when he finds out what I've been doing lately. I shouldn't even be talking to you guys!By the way, I read your PB posts too and find them a breath of fresh air!
