New Meds

[MrsBeasley86]

So I had another bad day Yesterday. Crying spells, feeling hopeless. That whole ordeal. I went to My dr today. Crying and telling her what's going on. And that I'm scared. I'm lost. I don't know what to do. She told me that starting this process sometimes makes you feel worse. Because you are opening your wounds. But she said I shouldn't be this bad. So she wants me to switch to Zoloft and lamictal. And she gave me risperdal as needed. But that one's temporary. She doesn't want me to continue with xanax and get addicted. It seems like so much meds but she wants to start this and wean me off my cymbalta. I'm willing to try anything to feel somewhat normal. Fingers crossed!

I hope the new combo works!
BADWRONG pills can wreck your life!

I'm such a nervous wreck with new meds. But I'm trying to stay positive and give it a try. I made sure to ask lots of questions and my dr knows how weird I am with meds. So hopefully we can get me fixed!

It's so impossible for anybody to understand, even doctors I guess. Days like this are just a part of it.

I personally can not do the meds. They make everything worse for me and just compound the issue, they make me gain weight and really mess with my head. Zoloft was a nightmare for me, and getting off was a horrible experience. I went to cannabis and it has saved my life, luckily I am in a state where it is legal medicinally. I'm not recommending anything for anyone else, just sharing my experience.

I wish I had an answer to these sad days or a solution. Remember, it's because of what is going on in your brain physically. It's not you. It's an unseen physical condition in your brain. I wish you the best getting through this. I hope you feel better soon, it's all in cycles for me.

I would love to be med free one day. But I know that I need some extra help right now. I'm hoping that once I get the therapy I need, and I learn how to cope, I can come off the meds. I've been such an emotional mess for weeks. I've just reached my breaking point. I don't want to take a handful of pills to function. But we are working on it :)

I know exactly what you mean, that breaking point! Ugh
