I'm back from Ireland, and whilst there, I began taking the new medication my pdoc is prescribing. Its moclobemide.
I started on half a 150mg tab a day and within maybe 3-4 days I got some small red bumps on my knuckles. I kept taking the med, thinking it might be something from the sea. Well it got worse and I stopped taking it (and now they are fading, so its the med alright).
So now, I will probably have to give up on moclobemide - which ¢?#••! me off because I could feel it working. No panic and increased energy.
I also got slight headaches, a tightness in my chest, dizzy upon standing, and weird spaciness - a sort of drunk feeling.
So all those who say this is a sugar pill, its definately not!
I am utterly sick and miserable. I was hoping that this med might just do something for me. I am begining to realise that I am very sensitive to pysch meds - I mean moc is supposed to be well tolerated!
I'm utterly afraid of trying the TCAs because of the notorious side effects. I mean, if I'm this bad on a low dose of moc, what the hell am I supposed to be like on a TCA??????
And I'm afraid there isn't that much else to try (don't forget I live in the UK. UK = no benzos, no stims, no exotic combos and probably no MAOIs).
I'm utterly hopeless.
