Another useless antidepressant drug bites the dust, and leaves me with nothing but the withdrawal symptoms. I tried this one for 6 weeks without any apparent change in the way I wake up in the morning. I have always been sceptical about this type of drug, primarily because there seems to be no definitive way to prescribe them. No one can say which ones are best for which situation. It is all a big trial and error zoo, in which the drug companies are the major circus leaders!!
Right now I'm just sick. My head feels like its full of sand, and every few minutes someone gives it a shake. It's now been 6 days since I started to wean my self off with the doctors guidance, and despite the fact that I have since started a new one, each day has gotten worse.
And yes, you heard that right. I'm trying one last time. It's an older drug this time, quite a bit different than the one I just quit. And while I have no idea if it will help me either, I can at least assure you that it will be the last anti-depressant I will ever use. Never again!
...and I'm sure I've used this one before but it's one of my all time favourites, from one of my all time favourite movies...
"Never, give up. Never surrender." I'd be interested if anyone (besides Michael) recognizes it?

As you know, love that quote and the movie!
ReplyDeleteSo the last antidepressant you were using was different from the one you originally started (Zoloft) back in December? So you switched from Zoloft and then tried the one you're talking about for six weeks, and it has made you sick? I hope the one you're switching now works out for you. What happened with the Zoloft - was it not doing anything for you?
Love you!

Correct Mike. I was encouraged the the pdychologist to switch to an SNRI medication so went to Cymbalta. It did nothing for me either, but im only sick in withdrawing from it. Have now started Remeron, whuch like I said, will be the last one ever. Love you.
