In reply to Why didn't anyone tell me???????, posted by MaryZee on February 19, 2003, at 21:42:38
I want to thank Shar, Missliz and especially Gracie 2. Your replies to my post really have helped me. I have decided to get a new doctor (my inernist has been prescribing all the med's except the Previcid - after the neurologist first prescribed the Prozac the Internist took over).
I am going to start over from square one. I'm going to take all the pills I have been on to the new doctor - and see what he says. Mentally I feel so so. But better than when on all those meds. Physically I feel miserable. Was so "shaky" today I broke down and took one 5mg Valium. Also had a "mild" panic attack today.
I'm going to really lay it all on the line with the new doctor! Tell him to inform me of any and all side effects if he wants me to take any meds!
Also will have him refer me to a therapist. Is a counselor the same as a therapist? I was in counseling for a year and a half after my sister, my best friend, died from breast cancer three years ago (my younger sister, also my best friend,
is in remission from it now) There was only the three of us. We were exceptionally close, having lost our mother when we were very young (I was six). Lost our father over 25 years ago. Older sister was 56 when she died. I'm getting off the subject here! You get the picture - lots of stress and pain. Anyhow! Thank you all for taking the time to read my post. I so want to feel better. I'm just very, very tired.
