I have noticed a difference in my mood, but 15 days into the meds, and I'm still somewhat depressed.
Perhaps I'm being too impatient.
Phyically I'm keyed up, but emotionally I'm depressed.
The keyed up part is rather bothersome.
I think I'll call my PDoc on Monday.
My appointment with the PDoc isn't until the 13th.
And my TDoc appointment is on the 20th.
BTW, my birthday is on the 21st.
So I suppose it'll be my birthday present.
I'm cool with that.
My kids aren't obeying me.
That's also depressing.
My husband is gone to a booksale.
At least he can't spend money -- we have none.
Gosh, I didn't know I had this much on my mind.
I did splurge on myself a little today.
Although it was Pepsi and chocolate -- had some change left in my purse.
I realy should get back on my diet soon.
But with being off it for two weeks, I haven't gained but 2 pounds.


Hi Tallyn,
What meds are you on? It may just be you haven't been on them long enough to gain the maximum benefit. I know that isn't much help when you're not feeling well, but unfortunately most of the time that's the case. I started a new a/d this past week and am waiting for it to start working too. The literature says it could take anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks. I'm hoping for the 1 week personally, but with my track record with meds it will most likely be the 4 weeks. So I can relate, as can many others here, to your plight.
So hang in there and be gentle to yourself. It's ok to splurge once in a while. Let us know what pdoc says.
Hugs,
Traci
