I feel like that rock already ran over me. The new pdoc made me appreciate the old one. I may go back. His first action, put me on doxepin for sleep. I asked is it a tricylic? He said no, it's a tetracyclic and has no side effects except sedation. I looked it up and it does appear to be a tricyclic with the usual complement of side effects. He told me to take 150mg, so I tried 100mg. It was one of my worst med experiences ever. Felt like the feeling when you've drunk too much right before you throw up. Like I suddenly had to lie down but felt sick. Afraid I was going to puke in my bed. Pounding heart, paralyzed rubbery limbs, woke up several times with dry creaky throat. Was out for 14 hours, then got up dizzy, rubbery, and craving sweets. Had a nice food binge for breakfast (normally I have no appetite in the am and don't eat breakfast).
I should have been at work 2 hours ago. I'm kind of afraid to drive because my head is still foggy.
