Say you went on one drug, then you went off of it. Then you tried to go back on it and you had a weird and freaky side effect that you didn't have on it last time around? Then you went off it because of that side effect.
If the first trial was successful, but the second was not, would you give it another go?
Of course, I'm asking because my pdoc (who I don't have much faith in), has suggested that's the conservative thing to do. Now, the side effect was tachycardia, and I have a high resting pulse as it is (lately, it's in the range of 80-84; goodness knows why, maybe low blood volume?). Anyway, I'm squeamish about going back on even though I'm also desperate to. In retrospect, I sort of loved my years on this drug; naive, ignoramus that I was back then, so unknowing of the potential risks and so blase about the side effects.
Ahhhh. Youth.
