I want to post about my anniversary weekend and how awesome it was but I can't right now. I had my Dr appt early this afternoon and He wants to take me off one of my meds. The pristiq. That makes me super uncomfortable. He wants me to quit cold turkey too. Pristiq has BAD side effects. Once or twice I've forgotten a pill and spent the day flat on my back with bad dizzyness and headaches. I called and left a message with a friend of mine who is a Dr so she can give me a second opinion. I just ate a bag of lindt truffles because I am worried about this. I actually think its a good idea because I was taking it for scary thoughts and they are gone. I am just afraid that they will come back.
I am feeling panicky about this
It's good that your dr feels you don't need that anymore, but it is surprising that he is taking you off all at once.
ReplyDeleteI have decided to wean myself off instead of quitting cold turkey. I feel better about it today
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a better way to go.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Oh, geez. That IS scary! I started antidepressants for the first time last September, and (for the most part) the feelings of "normalcy" are really nice - nice enough that I'm TERRIFIED to stop taking them.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're getting a second opinion and taking the weaning route that makes you feel more comfortable. Here's hoping you don't suffer from dizziness and headaches!
P.S. The last line of your last post had me snort-laughing. Awesome. ;)
I am a little worried about the headaches myself.
ReplyDeletePS you are the first person to say something about that line besides my husband :)
