hi 2beornot2benuts (what is short for '2beornot2benuts'?),
i am so sorry you are going through all that .... and worried by your suicidal thoughts,... this your pdoc said to "wait out"? !?! ....
.... thank you for writing to us despite such misery .... and injustice.
> Hello again, I'm in the middle of a sh*tstorm of sideffects (nausea,wicked headache,dizziness,crying uncontrollably,no appetite, and worst of all suicidal thoughts) my pdoc says, "wait it out, it should pass". I get the feeling he doesn't care, or take me seriously. Time to shop for a new pdoc, he's my 4th. Thanks for letting me vent, Happy Memorial Day Weekend To All...going from effexor to lexapro may make good sense for a lot of reasons, but one of them is not because of the ease of the transition .... effexor withdrawals compounded by lexapro adaptation SEs puts you in the center of your own SSRI "perfect storm" i'm sorry to say.
hope you can afford yourself some extra rest and some support taking care of your children ..... get yourself all of the support and comforting that you can to get you through this .... and write here as much as you need to ..... a lot of people on this board have been through this.... and a lot of us are parents too.
take good care of yourself!
~ jim
