In reply to Re: no stims/no benz BEST NARDIL AUGMENTION d/r » that_guy23, posted by JadeKelly on November 19, 2008, at 7:35:51
hey jade, I am dissapointed to say, that she didn't go for any augmentation for nardil. these would be, ritalin, lyrica, provigil, and neuroton. She said she has other options that would go against her process before considering augmentation with this drug. She also said what I'm looking for isn't going to help me in the long run. I practically begged, said I needed something, I would sign a waver, whatever it took, I actuall asked her what if my regular doctor prescribed me it, I know, it was stupid.
I actually just sat there and was crushed, not even an increse on benzos, silent and kept thinking how those drugs will temporaliy help, why won't she prescribe them, I'm so desperate, as I thought this a tear ran down my face. SHe spoke to me quitely and said shawn you don't have to do this she said, I could give you some nubers for oter pdocs. She said that she herself didn't take that path, and that continued cbt with your psychologist, as well as seeing me, having many options of course wil be the best route. She was making so much sense and I could understand her, and she was always easy to talk to and very good at making me feel a little better. We talked for the rest of the session, and by the end I wasn't so stuck on the augmentaions, although I kinda am. whan I left her office I was in a much better mood, which I usually am, besides the one prior appt. I told her I thought she was a good doctor and I respect that you didn't give in, and I meant i't , I felt even more sure than before the couple of sessions dealing with nardil, that now makes sense, despite that I do want other drugs, she was a very qualified psychiatrist. when I left I did ask for the other doctors, and she gave me them, and it felt knd of weird, but she said she took no affence to it. I found out through my relatives, that when I was recommended to her first, all the docs and nurses said she was one of the higest recommended pdocs. in Newfoudland. I also seen my psychologist today, and we had an amazing session, it was only the third, but I think she might be good as well.Right now I really want to stick with my reg pdoc. thinking she's right. And if I give her up and get another one, who's to say he'll give me the drugs, and he might suck. And there is one that is what they call a pill pusher, and doesn't really talk allot to you or even care, now I would get the drugs, most likely. I'm thinking that right now I should stay with the my regular, But my mind wanders in the other direction. This really sucks!! but it's gonna be a long hard road I guess, as usuall, I mean I have no relief from my SA what so ever, and my depression comes back when I keep getting stuck in this damn house, I don't no where to turn.
what do you think?
