I'm so frustrated with this drug
I know it has been 15 days but I have yet to come across a drug that takes so long to get rid of suicidal feelings.
Am up to 30mg but when I take 20mg together (at night) like my pdoc said I get hypotension and feel like I am going to have a black out. I sleep/pass out for a few hours. Plus I am sleepy all day despite the provigil 200mg. I am such a basically sleepy person and this drug is having no stimulant/lifting effect on me. I am thinking of stopping cold turkey since my dose has been 30mg for only 2 days. Then I think I will go on Effexor (high dose) with wellbutrin and provigil.
I know people here are swearing by this pill but I don't understand how people have put up with such rocky, inconsistent and terrible days. This pill is just making me give up hope :( I wish I was equally strong willed as everyone else who has waited it out- I don't think I can make it.
Maybe I am being impatient but this is making me more suicidal- the tiredness makes me depressed in its own right and because i cannot augment with ridiculously high does of provigil and wellbutrin i am pretty stuck.
Very confused
My parents and doctor dont feel I am giving it a fair trial but I feel worse than when I started (physically) and am still suicidal (although not so actively- but I am getting there)
Just so confused......and sad :(
Love to all
Thanks for all your positive, kind words
