> Unfortunately, due to anxiety about Parnate and the fact that I brought research on other medications to a meeting with my pdoc, she has decided I'm "obsessed" with meds (what the hell else am I supposed to talk about the the med doctor?) and so I won't be changing from Parnate and Abilify any time soon. I just really, really, hope they work. Soon. I'm still not sure about Parnate but I do think Abilify has been helping a little.
Did I already ask you about adding Lamictal to the Parnate and Abilify you are currently taking?
My doctor does not think that I am obsessed about drugs so much as I am obsessed about getting well. He said that this is really to be expected in people who have not responded adequately to treatment. It is a matter of self-preservation and being proactive. For me, knowing that there were treatments yet untried gave me hope and convinced me that I had not reached a dead end. This was the result of my "obsession" with drugs. Without this "intense focus" (a more accurate term), perhaps I would not have chosen to live this long.
