Meds seem to be working Mood
Friday, November 6, 2009 | A Positive story

I finally went to see my new Dr. He seems OK, nice guy, don't like his secretary. :P He evaluated me, and started me on Zoloft, and SSRI that I have not taken in the past. Lo and behold, it seems to be working!! This Sunday was the first Sunday that I didn't start panicking around noon about going in to work the next day. I call it the "Sunday Blues", but it's really more than that. It's a deep depression and sadness that saps the fun out of the weekend. I usually spend all day Sunday in bed. Not this weekend! I napped for a bit, but then I got up and crocheted 2 mittens and a scarf for my sister to give as a present to a young man she knows. I really felt OK. The only side effect so far is it makes me REALLY tired, which is OK because I take it at night. I've been sleeping better this last week than I have in months. It's really strange. :) But a good strange. It even seems like my libido is waking up a little, which was another side effect of the Lexapro that I never had with Prozac. I just started a full pill daily and dropped the Lexapro completely, so we'll see how I do this week. I have another appointment 11/11 with my new Dr. for a review.
