I know something is not right, but try to medicate it (for the past few years), either it doesn't work, or it dose, BUT-breaks something else (I REFUSE to put up with that). Tried all kinds of anti-depressants and mood stabalizers - all of them, either it was pointless to take them because they did not do there job - or they did the job you wanted them to do, but created problems elsewhere (like extreame drowsiness, excessive coughing, sexual issues, exc).
Problem is no one seems to want to leave me alone - I tried it there way, don't like nothing the doc seems to be able to do - so what's left other than just leave it alone?
But that is such an issue no one wants to hear I give up trying because you are either failing totally, or are causing problems where there was none.
And now I am starting to feel pressure about going to a hospital again - right now I say THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. First off I see no point, likely they whould just want to try what already was and rejected, second, after last time I really don't want to be bothered with it unless I know for a fact I am 100% sure not to get some doc that is going to over react right off the bat - they did the last time, and that was somewhere I know a lot of people on a first name basis - and still, so to say it won't or it's doubtful - well - I used to thing so, until it happened - now they over reacted once - that tells me from now on, shut up, don't complain about anything ever.
And really, there seems to be no acceptable compromise with the meds. - as pointed out, either they don't help - or they help that problem, but create a different one - I don't do "trade-offs" so I really don't know.
I'm going through the same thing with urology medication - I'm about done with them too, but at least there, the option of surgical solutions is there......
