Great morning with Stella.

yesterday I sent her an email saying that I was blessed to have her as a friend.
Last night I didn't sleep much at all. I am upset about the meds the doctor prescribed. I won't take either. One of the serious side effects of equetro are bruises. I don't know if it from the blood thinner but I often see black and blues and don't know how I get them.The medicine would make me too anxious and anxiety and depression are my major problems besides the physical problems like walking,diabetes and controlled blood pressure and high cholesterol. I will ask her again for topamax. I was able to handle that drug and it did reduce my cravings for sweets.

I remember that Bobby took the Rexulti because when she did, I was really hoping it would work for her like it did for me, but it didn't, and I was really disappointed

Are you going to call your pdoc, or just keep taking your antidepressant and Klonopin and wait for your next appointment?

Are you on a blood thinner, or just worried about the fact that you get mysterious bruises (I do too), or worried about bruising as a side effect of a medication?

I'm glad you had such a nice morning with Stella!

one of the side effects of equetorSp) is bruising and I bruise so I don't want to take because it will cause more anxiety. i take a blood thinner because of my stroke I will tell her when I see her. It is too scary

I thought your insurance doesn’t cover it?
So if you can’t even get it, the side effects shouldn’t be relevant...

she told me that she has a lot of samples which she could give me. Thank God I haven't taken it. I have two big black and blues on my leg and I didn't bump into anything. Because I am a worrier and tend to think negatively if I had taken it I might have assumed it was from the medication and would have gone to the emergency room. I decided after thinking about it all night and getting two hours of sleep I will tell her the truth and say I didn't take it because I do bruise easily and would be scared stiff. also it is for mania which I don't have, just depression and anxiety which is really high now and interfering with the antidepressant. I am now depressed and anxious and so tired.
also she immediately cut my klonipin to 1 1/2 mg from 2 mg in the morning and 2 mg at night

You know your body best....keep trusting your instincts.
