T and I did some really good work in the trust department last week; but, it feels like that, and more, was eroded today. We talked some about the fact that I'm not sleeping well and am having terrible nightmares. She mentioned last week that there were medicines that could help with those. Today, she mentioned Trazodone specifically. All she said was that it helped with anxiety and bad dreams.
So, I came home and looked it up. It's an antidepressant and one of the common side effects I see listed everywhere is "vivid dreams and nightmares." I did verify that it does, indeed, help with anxiety; but, that seems to be the only truthful thing she said. In my opinion, for the sake of complete honesty, particularly given our history, she should have mentioned it was an antidepressant. That information, she MUST have known. The fact she didn't make that clear leaves me feeling like she's just trying a round about way of getting me to do what she wants me to do. Plus, why the HELL would I want to take something with a common side effect that worsens the very thing I want to fix?? It all leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth and trusting her a WHOLE lot less.
