SAW MY DRUG COUNSELLOR TODAY. Walking there through gormless inner-city streets I worked self up into a lather about how remiss my previous workers, doctors, psychiatrists had been in failing to give any appropriate treatment about a year ago when I was well and truly on the verge of cracking up. As I explained, I was paranoid enough not to trust people, sane enough to know that if I shot my mouth off in front of a doctor I might well be diagnosed mad. And so my life shot down the toilet (I seemed to spend several months sitting on the floor surrounded by heaps of cockroach-crawling rubbish, simply staring into space). Now I am trying to unravel the consequences of this by putting my debts in order etc, but it is not easy. Any task I do that I am not used to doing I must break down into component parts; otherwise it seems insurmountable. I was advised. Or more to the point, TOLD, to get an appointment with my GP (family doctor) to go back on the one antidepressant that seemed to work without making me OTT irritable/hyper: mirtazepine/Zispin/Remeron. It gives wonderful dreams. A rather pleasing side effect. (Do click my mirtazapine links if you're interested in finding out more ...)
Well I'm off to go and stare into space ... (!!)

ReplyDeleteThanks MN! Your English is nowhere near as bad as my Spanish!!! I think the whole world is going to the dogs (going downhill), this country too. The younger generation is so rude. Many of them only want to grow up to be criminals. I would never have believed this would turn out to be so when I was still at school ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for Your comment, after I'll come to read with more time Your acid words... ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers!
ohhhh....i was on Remeron for awhile and i LOVED it!! i like your blog. i bookmarked it and will be back to read more later (-:
ReplyDeleteIt’s interesting that the information at the Mirtazapine link instructs you to take the med either standing up or sitting down. I guess taking it while lying in the fetal position is not advisable. As far as side effects go, “wonderful dreams” beat the hell out of fecal vomiting any day. Don’t laugh, fecal vomiting is real! I would include a link to it but I can’t seem to get links to stick in my comments. Anyway, I dream in color when I talk to Bob.
ReplyDeleteI'm not even depressed and would like the beautiful dreams!
