Symptoms are less and less.
NO..my new doc did not monitor anything, he did not ask me anything, he did not give any instructions except stop Effexor and Xanax immediately. I was to replace them both instantly with Zoloft and Klonopin. The Zoloft gave me terrible acid reflux. After ME reviewing my records from my psych of 14 years I saw the notes where Zoloft was tried with me once before and did the same thing.
Truly, this new doc is and example of what medicine in the free world is all about these days...10 minutes..out the door and pay $200.
I am now my own doctor. I will experiment with Celexa soon to see if it is ok but really, I think I am doing pretty good without an SSRI swimming in my brain....for now. It is like I am a different person. Not a better person, just someone else.
My closest bud...my brother is freaking out completely wondering why I'm not medicated. He says I'm off the deep end but I don't see it that way..just in transition.
Yes, I know I've been weird as AL Ankovich for a while but I think, think, I may be adjusting not permanently gone. What worries me is there is no doctor, no professional that seems to care one way or another. I am alone on that. How can an MD take my records of 14 years under the care of a psych and just poo poo all of it ...tell me I've been doing totally the wrong thing for all these years..I just don't get it.
