I think we need meds that CAUSE depression and OCD.

Why?

1. I ran out of one of my five meds, Dexedrine, a week early. My new doctor switched it from a pill to a capsule. I've taken three 10 mg pills/day for decades, and so I took three capsules/day, not realizing the capsules are 15 mg and I was supposed to take only two.

2. Recently my toes, then my fingers and lips, and finally ALL my skin went numb. Google says it's a rare side effect of Clomipramine (I've taken it for decades - why now?!). My new doctor told me to stop it cold turkey. Once, years ago, I ran out of Clomipramine and didn't refill it immediately; I crashed, ended up in an ER, and was nearly admitted.

It's been a rough week, very hard on me and my family.

The doctor won't do anything, and the insurance company won't fill the new prescription early - not even ONE day. If they could experience serious depression and OCD, they would be more supportive. So, as part of their training, I believe they should take meds that briefly cause the symptoms of these illnesses.
