I guess in someway it's taken an edge off...that is I haven't acted on hurting myself but, I still think about it all the time. I don't see the pdoc until January ....maybe then things will be better?

I don't want to encourage non-compliance in anyway, but you should be the end line of decision. ADs do have effects on your body. Yes, sometimes positives outweight the negatives and that is fine. But if you still feel crappy... then it may not be worth it. It is not your doctor who has to take these, it is you.

And I don't believe that it is necessery to "suffer completely hopeless" before things work. At least it should make you feel almost over the edge.

You should make your own research and pro and con analysis and not let the your doctor manipulate you if you feeling it is not working. It's not exact science and mind is too precious thing to lose.

Thank you! I finally feel like someone understands where I'm coming from. At this point, I just want the T and pdoc know that I'm doing what they want and let them see what happeds as a result of there actions!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
