I'm so sorry, Mari. I wish things were easier for you right now, and in general.

That sounds like my husband. He can only be redirected for brief periods. He refuses to recognize problems, and will not seek out any help for his own issues (MH and alcoholism).

I'm praying for better days for you soon :hug:

Mari

I wish you had a friend to take a vacation with.

I am trying to figure out personally how to deal with 80 hours of
vacation time. I don't want to just sit around not using them.

Dear Mari

I don't feel any better.

Exactly a year ago I asked my pdoc for extra med help . .
Then off and on for 8 months we tried this and that . . . and I gave up again.
I have an appt with him on Thursday. I wonder if I should ask him for an old anti-depressant (one that my insurance will cover).


~I could try to tough out this depression (already trying. NOT WORKING!!)
~I could try his meds

-->The downside of trying his meds is that I get devastated when the meds fail me for whatever reason.

I am sorry that you are not feeling any better.
between work and hubby you are under alot of stress and all of that is amplified due to fact that you deal with chronic fatigue and lack of sleep.!!!!!

I can understand that disappointment, but I hope you will think about trying a new med again.

I have to be careful about what they rx for me now because I'm on a medicare advantage plan... If they can't give me adequate samples, I can't do a lot of meds... generic all the way!

became close to unhinged at work.

work buddy commented on how I looked "'stressed" He was being polite as I was a mess.

I told him I did not think I was going to make it through the end of the semester.

I have an additional work project on top of what I am already doing.

I am sorry this sounds like an awful monday.

Three ADS last year redux:
 

I posted the above back in November 2010.
I'm trying to recall what happened with the ADs.

Lexapro -- pdoc started me at the regular starting dose. Three days later I had huge anxiety w/ chest pains.

Effexor -- caused paresthesia

Remeron -- caused major sleepiness even after two tiny doses.

I wonder if Lexapro is worth trying at tiny doses. Pdoc gave me 10mgs. The pills come as small as 5 mgs. I could take half of a 5 mg at 2.5 mgs for a few days to try.

Thanks, Bizi.
