In reply to Roo..How are you doing?, posted by Dinah on October 7, 2002, at 18:20:42
Thanks for remembering, babycakes. You are
a sweetie pie. It went fine and now, a week
later on increasing topamax I am feeling better
(a wee bit stupid) but better. Not suicidal anymore.
Definitely not hospital material. Amazing what some
chemical action can do. So we're just going to keep
going up on this topamax stuff and hopefully keep
improving. I asked her 'what about an antidepressant, what
about the remeron?" which I was scared to death of, because
it's basically what put me in the panicky suicidal state
(I think anyway) and she said "well let's just wait and see, you
may not even need an antidpressant, you may just be able to
get away with just a mood stabilizer", and I said "It's hard
to imagine not having to take an antidepressant" and she said "Let's
just wait and see" and I said "okay". So that's where it stands.
I do feel okay so far on just the mood stabilizer. It's hard to gauge though
because I'm just so happy not to be feeling suicidal.How are YOU, most thoughtful one?
