I’ve decided, once and for all, I’m through with my depression medications. I haven’t been taking them regularly for a few months now, but every time I start to feel the withdrawl symptoms (namely, lightheadedness) I will take one of my pills to relieve them.
Well, no more! I’m gonna beat this. No more Celexa and no more Wellbutrin! Soon enough my body will readjust to being able to function without them in my system.
I’m back at the grindstone. I returned to college after my two week Spring Break. But alas! it was too short. And much too stressful.
Luckily, I only have two classes tomorrow, so I can ease back into school. Now, if only I can stay awake during those classes. I really haven’t had to go to class after having been on Lexapro for an extended period of time. It’s been at least three weeks and I’m still having that really tired, over exhausted side effect. I guess when I go back to the psychiatrist next week, I’ll be changing medications again.
Fantastic.
Earlier this month, I was diagnosed with depression. At the time, the doctor told me to think about what I wanted for a treatment, then come back. I thought about it, went back. My mom picked up my persciption for Celexa just today.
I haven’t taken any yet. I wanted to start on it today, but my doctor said that, generally people take it in the morning. It probably has something to do with a certain side effect associated with it. I’m not sure, though. Either way, I’m waiting until the morning.
I set the pill bottle next to my word-of-the-day calendar. I always remember to change that every morning. If the bottle is next to it, I should remember to take my pills every morning too.
Once everything with the depression straightens out, my other problems are supposedly going to get better too. That’s what the doctor said, anyway. But she also said, it would probably be helpful to eat soy products or take soy supplements to help with my other problems.
I’m eighteen years old. I didn’t think I’d have so many problems already. What will I be like ten years from now?
Either way, I’ll make sure that there’s updates for how this regiment goes.
In other news in my life, I cut my hand open while hand shearing one of my sheep today. I thought it hurt when I got cut with the electric shears a few years back. That was nothing compared to this. There was also a lot more blood today than then.
