The (temporary) results from my heart catherization: I'm healthy but not yet capable of sports. Always having relied on my mountainbike as a primary lifeline, this is a major setback. Still one test (MRI) in August ...

Tomorrow, I've got an appointment with the psychiatrist. I have informed him that I no longer take wellbutrin (because of seizures/convulsions/spasm/...) and that I no longer take duloxetine (because of my heart). As the convulsions had died out over the course of a week and started again two weeks after my last dose of wellbutrin (150 mg), he ruled out the possibility of my medication being at the root of my (possible) neurological problems. He seemed pretty eager to put me on wellbutrin - and prabably a higher dose - again when I talked to him on the phone, despite the advise of the neurologist (I have two brain-related MRI's in July). I'm not looking forward but I guess there's no way around. It's just sad that side-effects don't seem to be a thing in the psychiatrist's universe.

And to be honest: this is the best psychiatrist I've ever had. Others don't even write down (I assume they are just calculating the size of their next swimming pool in relation to the severeness of a patient's complaints) what is said. This guy, well at least he remembers or goes through his nots before a consultation. But he does share the same fixation on pills and the blind spot for side-effects. I even warned him I would at some point get convulsions when on Wellbutrin ... and so I'm back to the same rant on psychiatric drugs: it's all side-effects and no effects and a battle against the medical establishment I'll never win.
