Well Brody when you are my age no time for new meds. And nursing was my identity and as of 2008 need to go back to school to continue causes haven't been able to nurse in 9 years and I would need 2 months of full time med/surg my discs in my back could not handle it and then 2 months of full time psych before parttime and 4-5 months on the computer so I lost my only worth and love to me. No since I'm on Disability and own a house can't get a break on any expensive meds couldn't afford them so they won't prescribe. And it's not my fault that the ad's don't work for me. My pdoc said they only work for 20-30%. The therapist thinks it's PTSD too and the antianxiety meds are what I need . I couldn't sleep when they took away very low dose luvox and put me on higher doses of benzos then I'd ever been on. So I have to keep with this routine for as long as I can. It's a catch 22 own something and you pay full price. Own nothing and it's free. Plus I feel the government wants us babyboomers gone as it costs starting now too much money to keep us. Phillipa sorry to sound negative but that is the way it is. I can't change the system. Some may say never stuck with an ad long enough but I did years before babble existed and even when it did. No computer when on zoloft, paxil, prozac, lexapro, celexa, effexor found when cymbalta came out. 60mg for over three months and nothing. The meds don't make me tired they rev me up so my head feels like exploding. Rather be miserable. That is excruciating. You know if it were cancer I'd have a morphine drip and it would be fine.
