So I waited and I waited. 8 months later my letter came thru for my appointment. "Whats this??? 8 months and they gifve me a different pdoc? Yikes!" Turns out my original top man proffesor had been ill all that time and he was THE only doc there left. They are now getting a psychopharmacology team back together YAY!
In that time I became extremely depressed with horrendous mood swings. Like clockwork too- 5 days above baseline then 7-10 days depressed. What a tease! I now know how bipolar suffrers feel. At least a little.
But I think my swings were due to both the untreated depression and the angst of waiting to be seen.
From my last appointment, where I very nearly got on Abilify I aggreed to 2 weeks on cortisone coupled with excercise (I have the "cant get outa bed" type). Buzzed my t*ts off for a week, got nothing done and by my next appointment it was cancelled anyway.
My new pdoc put me on Abilify strait away. It worked within a week and I could 'feel' it also kickstarting my other 2 ADs again, literally. The MAO blocking and the sleep improvement from Agomelatine. I now feel great and if it aint already, I'm putting Abilify up into the BIG GUN section, if I may? lol
I'm still shot away tho ha...ha...ha... i know
