Finally, some real results!! |
I've take 60 mgs of Paxil and 300 mgs of Wellbutrin. My diagnosis is chronic
depression and GAD. The last time I saw my pdoc, we were discussing the fact
that I now have extreme mood swings; from what she said (I hadn't said
anything about it, and she asked me was I having mood swings) I got the
impression that the combination is what caused them. She prescribed 600 mgs
Neurontin, but of course initially I only took one a day for one week rather
than the two she prescribed. (I'm very glad I did btw, the side effects
weren't very comfortable) I've been taking them now about 2 1/2 weeks.
I think I am *finally* beginning to see some clear changes, for me,
positive changes. I have a tendency to go to the extreme with my emotions,
especially anger or disappointment. For example, when someone does something
that I feel is 'unfair', I get so angry that I rant and rave like a lunatic
directing traffic. I get to the point where I feel like I need to hit
someone or something, and the more I talk about whatever it is, the angrier
and more out of control I get. Several days ago I had a situation come up at
work that usually sets me off, but this time, although I was my usual
combative self when telling my friend about it, there wasn't that edge of
rage that I usually get. I didn't know for sure if it was the meds at first,
but I decided to pay attention and see what happened. Sure enough, the next
time something happened, (I work a job where something usually ticks me off
at a rate of maybe once a day!) I didn't feel it. I was even able to stop in
the middle of the rant, and speak to my friend in a normal manner! It's like
I'm removed from the anger, I can feel the anger in my head, but my emotions
are not all jumbled up. I don't know if this is how people normally feel,
but for me this is *great*!! I still care about whatever the situation is,
but I can calmly think about it and not start throwing things. It's a truly
great feeling! Now I just hope it lasts....

Wanda,

Chuck
And it's still working! I can't believe this; I feel much calmer than I've
felt in a long time. I have the energy to do the packing that I should have
done weeks ago, (I'm moving tomorrow) and I'm feeling more tolerant of the
Idiot Brigade. (the 14 people I live with) I'm still getting the depression,
so there's still something missing from the cocktail, some dosage or new med
or removal of a med (which I don't want to do, cause what if it's the
combination of drugs that is making me feel so good now?) which would get
rid of it. I can say though that it's not as bad....
I'm one of those people Chuck that figured nothing was ever going to work
for me, that my story was always going to be about the failures and the
negative things that I go through. It feels good to be able to share
something positive for a change!
Wanda

Would you mind kindly reinterating which medications are in the cocktail?

You're practicing medicine without a license now?
Good. Add another charge to the list of growing charges.
If I were you, and thank God I'm not, I'd be thinking about
the practice of law instead of medicine. You'll soon be
needing all the legal help you can get, even if the
extra help comes from an idiot such as yourself.
Maybe you can sharpen pencils for your defense
team before your money for legal fees runs out.

No, just some friendly advice. ;) Why do you post in the
radio groups when you're not a radio operator?? Oh I know
it's just to stalk me.
