Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I can't tell you how much I appriciate it. I feel so alone a lot of the time.
Let's see, more details. My shrink actually "graduated" me a couple weeks ago because I was doing so much better. I thought I was stable on Wellbutrin 150 twice a day and Nortriptaline(sp?) 70 at night for pain.
Then everything fell apart two days ago when I found out my dad has cancer and I'm pulling my hair out again. I just can't get a grip. I can't settle down into my own skin. I feel violent.
I know I can't take any more Wellbutrin because I'm already at 300, I can't really talk to my doctor because my primary care doctor prescribes my meds and she just looks at it for pain (I have fibromyalgia). And when I called to talk to a psychiatrist (they're the ones who prescribe right?) there are no appointments until the end of July.
My doctor will probably prescribe whatever I ask for for depression. What else can I take? I have to be able to hold it together for my sisters and my kids. I can't lose it right now. Oh yeah, and I start a new job in July.
Sorry for going on so long. Any help would be great. Thank you so much.
