So do i rename this to the Efexor Diary?
March 23, 2009(This will be national blog posting week, there’s lots to get through)
Short answer: No, i don’t have to rename it to the efexor diary. After my recent problems with prozac, and feeling decidedly too grey/warm/fuzzy about everything, i booked into the doctor. A few people had told me that if things weren’t working for, it may just be that the medication isn’t suited for you, and changing may yield different results. It was all down to the individual.
Typically, i had a different doctor again, with whom i needed to explain all the symptoms. I have little patience at the best of times, but she was already 40 mins late, and i’d been sitting down for nearly 45 minutes. I explained how i had been feeling. I feel guilty actually, I’m complaining about feeling “Okay”, when some people would love to feel as good as i do even half the time. Dealing with depression is a shit part of life, why should i be let off so easily?
The result, I can change medication, I have a script for efexor.
But i haven’t filled it yet…
Dude, are you seeing a psychiatrist/psychologist in conjunction with the medication? When you say above that ‘typically, it was a different doctor’ I’m guessing not? I highly recommend doing so, even if it feels weird at first (and yes it can be expensive), but the meds on their own aren’t enough. Talking through shit with an un-objective someone is an important part of the process. I do it.
