I was finally able to see a psychiatrist today. Just to refresh your brains… my current doctor decided I needed to go to a specialist for further meds changes. This was after she changed me from Lexapro to Cymbalta.
Now, I will transition back to Lexapro. We know that works, though my psychiatrist thinks it will not work well enough for me. But I want to get myself stabilized before trying anything else. It would appear I am a tough case… nice.
I am also going to probably have to change my Bupropion. But that will come later too.
These meds transitions are not very pleasant. There can be all sorts of side affects, as well as making my emotions dance a bit too much. Actually, it can mess up my brain in a lot of fun ways. It can make life interesting.
Also the Lexapro will give me mild headaches for a couple of weeks – to a month. That is the only side affect I have had.
I just think it would have been really nice if my doctor had sent me to a psychiatrist last Summer when all this started. But I guess it’s better now than never. She just did not listen quite closely enough to me. It was my decision to give the change a try. However I got here, it will not be very fun for a while.
I will be continuing to see my regular psychologist as well.
Stay tuned!
