Hey there,
Well thank you for giving me some hope! I guess once you build up a rapport with your GP and they thrust you then it is good....trouble is, I have moved around alot so its difficult to get to know my GP. The one I am seeing tomorrow is particulry nasty, I tried explaining to him my symptoms and things and he said he couldn't help me because it was my 'charactor'!!!!! I then completely brokedown and explained my self harm etc etc and he agreed to refer me to a pdoc for an asessment. On the upside he is the most senior out of the bunch of them. And I'm hoping my breakdown will have helped build a rapport....
Thank you for your suggestion of mirtapritze (ie remeron - thats easier to spell!) but I would really really like to stay away from any drug that has 'drowsiness' as a listed side effect, not to mention weight gain, and anxiety. My major problems seen to be apathy, amotivation, and I fight the need to sleep all the time and I'm eating too much along with the obvious depressed mood, suicidal feelings etc.
I may have atypical depression, but this has never been diagnosed by anyone other than myself.
At the moment in an ideal world, I would love to try a stimulant, but I then I guess pigs might fly.....other than that a MAOI, although again, from a GP?? I might ask for moclobemide which doesn't have the dietary restrictions etc. but I have a feeling that I will have to get to know this GP better, and also we may have to trial something more conventional first. Plus I seem to be really scared to take anything.
Oh well. I'm nearly at the end of my tether.....
Thanks for the post.
Meri
