In reply to Re: linkadge what would you suggest for depression?, posted by linkadge on September 24, 2005, at 19:54:20
And I'm so, so very sorry this has happened to you.
I would think the doctors probably believe you, too, however, since they are powerless to do anything to counter what you've experienced and perhaps even attributed to the problem, they would never admit it. Malpractice and all.
Linkadge, are you still on meds?
In my experience, my doctor will just ask me what I want a script for. She knows I read up before I see her, and I appreciate the fact that she must not think I'm a total nutbag, but at the same time, doesn't that reduce her to some kind of a basic drug dealer, at least in theory?
Yes, I am less depressed on Effexor, but my short-term memory is crap. My hands shake all the time. I've gained weight. My sinuses do very bizzare things. I could go on.
If I decied to discontinue using, how long will the withdrawl last? Will the side effects reverse or are they permanent in some cases?
Would you consider posting a recording of your piano playing on social? I'd love to hear you play!
Thank you for sharing all this with us. Is there a specific way I could go about supporting and encouraging you?
