Don't They Understand?

It's clear to me that my meds need adjustment, but to do so, I need to go in for a blood draw to see what my ...something levels are. If part of the problem is extreme lethargy, how do they expect me to get out of the house earlier than I absolutely have to? Self-talk, breathing techniques & going away only help for just a little while before the anger & depression creep back up again. I'm hoping to make it in tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Some medications (like Prozac) can have a side effect of apathy.  If you have to get off a drug in that class, please taper it slowly.  I was getting brain zaps while getting off Prozac, Effexor (the worst!), and even Cymbalta.

I haven't been on Prozac for years. It was really bad for me. I take valproic acid & (I think) Celexa, not to mention a bunch of other meds for allergies. Nearly all of them warn "drowsiness may occur." Ugh. I'm not going off of any of the drugs until the Dr's tell me to.
