So now I'm really confused. This was AFTER talking to psychiatrist lady about how sertraline is causing me to have sexual dysfunction. Now I'm starting to think I was just psyching myself out because I didn't stress about it, and it happened. I feel ONE MILLION TIMES BETTER. 😊
Anyway, my appointment went fine. She wanted to put me back on Cymbalta. I was like, "Lady, that stopped working for me!" Luckily I had my therapist to back me up. She ended up cutting my sertraline in half and raising my Lamictal from 200mg to 300mg, which I'm not particularly happy about because higher doses of Lamictal turn me into a MORON, like forgetting words, forgetting how to spell words. This is NOT good when you're a writer!
I told her this, but she just said, "You've been on 200mg for a long time. You build up tolerance to side effects."
The second I forget how to spell a simple word I'm telling her I'm NOT taking 300mg! Not to mention higher doses of it make me feel so fukking flat over time it's ridiculous. 😒 Whatever. At least she's not taking me off everything and switching everything around. I am VERY thankful for that!
Thank you scary psychiatrist lady!!! 🙏
