Thanks for responding,my diagnosis_?_ pdoc said "Im not saying you are BP but have cycling depression" Diagnosed 10 yrs ago with major depression, hospital x2 that year. Different doc. I was on numerous "cocktails". Quit taking meds the next year. About once a year primary would give me AD's due to my complaining about depression;celexa,effexor,prozac,zoloft,lexapro. Only took each one 4-8 months;didn't help and sometimes felt worse. In July after c/o again he said he would refer me to a "conservative"pdoc {because I complained about the "crazy" one I had before.{being on so meds at once} Now I realise they helped. This new pdoc is his friend. After a 40 minute consult,my subsequent appoints.are for 15 minute med check only. Had remeron,zyprexa,cymbata and latest lamictal since middle of Feb. All separtely. Has the least side effects but this not sleeping is nuts. Worked yesterday 6:30 till 7p,stayed up till 11 so I would sleep,here I am wide awake at 2:30. Still depressed. My next appoint. not for 2 weeks.When he put me on 100 he didnt tell me to increase or give me enough to do so.
Your suggestion of charting is a good one,never thought about it. I think I will remember but don't. As far as cutting I was appalled I even considered it again,been 10 years I have to look at these ugly scars! I think I will have to change meds;think I need new doc. who will give me a combination, one who knows more? Thanks again, sorry for the rambling,do feel better than over the weekend.
