Hello all..
You all are so sweet--(and salty--salt of the earth!)
So I went off of zoloft completely and have been continuing in my journal. I have been in a really good, chipper mood for the last three days. (That's what happened when I went off of Lexapro the last time) Methinks this is not a fluke. I made cookies and dyed my hair last night...like a regular Doris Day..it was fun.
I picked up the book that Mr. Cushing mentioned at the library last week and have been reading it...very helpful!! But I find that when I'm feeling good, I tend not to think about my "broken brain" as much. I also tend to not want to take meds as well. I should watch that.As far as getting a second opinion. Well--I frantically searched for a new pdoc on monday who would be able to take new patients (on my insurance plan) and it's a no-go. So as much as I'm pissed at my current pdoc, I have to work with him right now. My therapist seems to agree with the diagnosis--and so do I when I am feeling depressed...
I don't understand why he upped my AD's!! I felt like a giant piece of crying, dysphornicating, paranoid, imploding DOO-DOO. I also feel that Neurontin has been marginally effective...but it has helped with anxiety a bit.For now, I'm feeling good and I want to hold onto it...It's the first time in about 4 months that I've felt like "myself".
Everyone have a lovely turkey day...
Thanks again for all your posts. I'll let you all know how it goes after my next appt. with my pdoc this monday.lovins..
