One glance at those pamphlets they include listing possible side effects and 9.9999 times out of 10, the medication remains untouched!  |
Sun, I know that if I read the side effects I will get them (think its a psychosomatic thing). So what I do is I don't read them. However, I have a great BF who does. Then he keeps a close eye on me while I'm starting the meds. If he starts to notice some of the side effects, he will say something to me and tell me to talk to my doc. Hope that helps.
Today I talked to a lady about what I believe was a HIPPA violation while I was hospitalized. It was hard, I felt like she was trying to put it back on me. I'm not good at sticking up for myself. Now I'm off to my anxiety/depression support group (real life one - ugh), then to work.
Have a great day everyone and keep up the good work!
