when I was chewing on my cuticles so badly once about 7 years ago, I asked for annafrinil or something like that. and doctor prescribed prozac instead. Which I told him no, that I was afraid that would make me manic (and then sceduled a next appointment 4 months out!!!!)...and that is what happened, I stopped chewing on myself though....that is the time that I bought 2 cars in 3 weeks....
I found a new pdoc.

Dear Bizi

i've never taken Prozac but Paxil made me manic but it was early in my dx and all the meds were new... i was to call pdoc for anything odd - i called him after 5 days of not sleeping and laughing my hide off - he d/c'd it and increased my carbamazepine. brought me down before i did any major damage... only bought walgreens out of dove dark and probably tons of candles and earrings... (no cars or paintings that time).

i am scared of Prozac because of the long half life - hard to adjust dose in a hurry if you need to.

Zoloft and Celexa have both made me hypo on a regular basis but pdoc was also my therapist and i saw him 2ce a week, so he'd tweak my meds pronto.

It is nice being able to post again...forums have been sporatic....
yes paxil also made me manic but that is not really fair as I was already in a mixed mood when that was started.
I have taken welbutrin in the past half a dose which did not really help me or notice, stopped it, I would consider this again if need be in the futre.
this cold has held me at bay all week end...hate being sick.

Hi there... yes good to be back in business... i see DocJohn has the chat back up again too - it wasn't yesterday, and then today it was spewing out an error message between the open/close paren, where it usually shows the number of people active in chat .

good to see you too Mari... i have been busy doing repetitive type work today. nothing energetic but i am strangely extremely tired, keep having coffee, still can't shake it... i need to be a caffeine IV drip ... sigh.

dear waves, the past few days have been emotional for you right? that could be why you are tired.
((((HUGS))))
bizi who is sipping hot fluids....

Dear Bizi

i hope you feel better soon!

First,

Bizi I hope you feel better soon too. Keep drinking all those liquids.

Next, Wave's can I ask if you could start to look at Java anyway to
see if its something you could be into learning. For next time its
a suggestion.


I have to tell you guys this threads title has given me a laugh as
I look at it every time I go to open it.

I keep thinking it is me that is going on Zoloft. Sorry, just my
brain being silly.

Dear Donna

i am experienced in Java. it's a specific platform i don't have experience in and reading isn't gonna do a whole lot for me... i pick up stuff on the fly i am not worried about it... but the guy says "read up" i'm not gonna argue, i just said, sure, absolutely ... (whatever floats his boat.... )

that's funny about the thread title... that you read it in first person...

when i read the beginning of the sentence, just that it made you laugh what i thought you were going to say is that it's chockfulla all kindsa other nuts in here... it really it should be called something like, waves is going on zoloft, battling with unemployment, and pondering life the universe and everything including the kitchen sink (or kitchen heater, more accurately!)

~ waves ~

Waves,
I was on zoloft for many years & was certainly picking during this time.
My AD is effexor right now.
The new pdoc says I have OCD. Not surprising, but I hate to officially add another psych dx to my list.

Bizi and Waves: I hope you both feel better soon! I'll send some good thoughts your way.
