My first doctor didn’t care one bit to prescribe any of the SRI’s, I tried a few of them but after some side effects (embarrassing and non embarrassing) that I didn’t care to go through, I left those alone. Prozac give me horrible gas, to the point that I would fart with every step. Zoloft wasn’t bad but it took my dreams away and when I would forget to take it, they came back with a vengeance. Celexa made my fingers jerk like they had electric currents going through them, didn’t have any nightmares at all but the finger jerking was driving me insane. I think those types of drugs should be burned and never used again, they have too many whacky side effects.
Whatever happened to treating depression with a kick in the pants? I know it doesn’t work for some, but the doctors just want people hooked on whatever they can make you think will help you out. I take nothing for depression now, I feel fine. I think I was just going through a rough patch. Some people do fine on them and that is wonderful. I just think that they are too crazy with the side effects for me to ever fool with them again. I wanted something to help me sleep and she give me Trazodone. That is the worst shit that I have ever had in my life, my face felt like it was on fire and the Suboxone makes me sweat enough. So I constantly had to walk around with a cold wash cloth or I felt like I was going to just burst into flames. I figured this stuff is either too strong or not working right, I went with Tylenol PM. Now I have no problem sleeping, I can take a 1mg piece of Suboxone and I am out for a few hours.
If I came out of surgery and they wouldn’t give me something for post op pain, I would tear someone’s head off. After my gall bladder surgery, I rose up out of the bed and squalled for something. They came with two 10mg Percocet’s and a Diet Sprite (yuck I know). I cant imagine if they came out and told me to deal with it. I know that the Suboxone makes your tolerance to those medications crazy high and it takes more, but I think the risk of not feeling like my insides were coming out would be worth it.
