Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
My depression and psychosis are getting worse and all my pdoc seems to want to do is add another med all the time..... Im on pristiq 200mg, seoquel 350mg, Abilify 5mg, and now he wants to add Avanza 30mg....but dont know if I should start it or not...all I have read about it has been bad and Im scared of drug interactions between so many meds......I feel like just going off everything and starting all over again with something new......would rather be on nothing but that is not reality for me unfortunatly....but would I be any worse off if I go without??????
this is so frustrating.
this is so frustrating.
Going off meds with the help and guidance of a doc could be physically dangerous. If you're that concerned. Then let your doc in on how you feel. Best wishes to you. ((( Hugs )))
if u feel like ur doctor isn't listening to u when u bring up this topic, don't keep that to urself. let him/her know that you value his/her medical opinion, however, you have concerns of your own. your doctor is a voice of authority but he/she does not have the final say. you are the patient and if you don't feel comfortable with the decisions being made for you then treatment will not be as succesful.
Have cut out 50mg morning seroquel this morning and still dont want to start new meds... this is sooooooooooooo hard............ I see pdoc in 2 weeks and will see what he has to say.....am trying to get my husband to go with me so he can tell pdoc more as I am able to tell him almost everything...
