> You know, my appt. really didn't go the way I thought it would on Friday. My pdoc doesn't like using meds yet he wants me to stay on all of mine. I expected him to agree to help me slowly wean off everything. I guess that was stupid thinking. I was in awful shape in Sept/Oct when I was off my meds. Sigh. I feel sad.
So why are you sad to be on meds if you were doing so badly off them? If you can find meds that work and don't cause weight gain or other unwanted side effects, you'll be doing o.k. Your psychiatrist is still for medication, he's a psychiatrist. I totally understand why he wants you to stay on the medications you are on now, with the exception of Nortriptyline. Severe depression will cause way more damage and interference than most medications will.
