Something is not right with me and hasn't been since August. I don't want to see pdoc. I am terrified of switching meds bc I cannot gain weight.
I irrationally hate my husband and have been taking most of it out on him. What is making me think it's time to see pdoc is because my "not-rightness" is starting to break through in public. 99.9% of the time I keep my anger and depression at home but it is getting harder and harder to that.

I would call your pdoc. Yeah, changing meds is a major drag. But there are now so many weight neutral options [I've just been changed onto two of them, and am quite happy with them] out there, that you owe it to yourself to see if you can get to feeling better. Just be clear with your pdoc that weight gain is not an option.
I hope you get to feeling better soon. That out of control feeling is the worst. ![]()

ozzy not just from this post but from many you've made recently I think it's time to make that call. If you are still hesitant, try this: go back and read the last ten threads you've started as if they were written by a stranger. What would you advise that stranger to do?

You have good insight. You know that right now you are not yourself. You're on the verge of breaking out in public and you're finding it difficult to keep your impulses at bay.
It's time to make contact with your pdoc. As has already been mentioned, not all medications come with the side effect of weight gain. There is something out there that can stabilize your mood but you need to work together with your pdoc to find out what it is. Be well. |
