And you are right, it really can't be understood unless experienced, although I wish that no on has to experience it.<BR/>-SuzanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-1153049749540131202006-07-16T06:35:00.000-05:002006-07-16T06:35:00.000-05:00A weakness perceivedtiredness, an ache?

I think it takes away the stigma and helps the understanding. Mental Illness is so common but rarely talked about secret, and it is misunderstood so often.<BR/> <BR/>And from your post it is clear how confusing it can be, when you have to decide which of your emotions are okay to have and which ones are going overboard. It leaves you doubting yourself and what you are going through. <BR/><BR/>I've been there. Hang in there. I hope you've already called the doctor.Shelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-1152911470673528742006-07-14T16:11:00.000-05:002006-07-14T16:11:00.000-05:00I tried Celexa back in Feb 2000. I hated it. It ...I tried Celexa back in Feb 2000. I hated it. It increased my appetite 100 fold. It was a nightmare, not to mention it did not work. Then the doctor told me "yeah, increased appetite is a common side affect for Celexa." From that, I went to Wellbutin. That was a decent into hell. Wellbutin is (in my opinion) for passive, passive, passive, passive people. If a person has a spark of assertion in his or her personality already, Wellbutin highlights (in my opinion) aggressive tendencies. Tendencies that I never had in my entire life, suicidal yes, homicidal no. Each time I called, the doctor would say that I was not giving it enough time. Then one day around the fourth week, I read, “If you are having homicidal thoughts report to your doctor immediately.” Well duh. It was weird. I had a feeling like if I could hurt something, break something, shoot something, I would feel all better. Then when I demanded the doctor change it because I was having homicidal thoughts, he said, “You are having homicidal thoughts? Oh know we must change right away.” No duh! Stupid idiot! Perhaps doing him in at that moment would have made it all better. Just kidding not really. <BR/><BR/>In short, I am a prozac kind of girl. 10 mg q daily. Some doctors claim it is not even a dose, but 20 gives me nightmares plus it would make me not care about anything but happiness, which of course would make me useless to anyone or anything in the world but myself. I get a prescription that allow me to do 10mg a day and 20 occasionally to somewhat make a 15mg dose. It seems to work.Abadiebitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131824336879869920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-1152881590896560932006-07-14T07:53:00.000-05:002006-07-14T07:53:00.000-05:00Wow.
