After 4 or 5 weeks at 600mg/day I don't think I've
crossed into the rage zone. Today at group, though,
there was a new member and we were going around
reiterating, for the new member's benefit, our
stories. I've told my story sooo many times in
group (not the entire story but quite a bit) that
I was giving the abridged one today. The new
member interrupted me constantly ("Oh, I know what
that is like. My last pdoc told me I was...").
The last interruption was when when she asked if I
had a personal relationship with God. That was it.
I looked at her, told her my faith or spirituality
was my own business, that in fact I thought it was
crap, and to be quiet so I could finish.I wasn't alone in my feelings toward this new member.
Anyway, I think that's the only abrasive thing I've said.
Uh Oh, forgot, I told my therapist I was pissed at
her, but she deserved it. I was sick on Monday.
I called her and said I would not be in because I was
ill. She asked what was wrong. I told her I had been
up half the night coughing. She responded in a
patronizing, demeaning tone "Did you smoke too much
pot last night?" I like pot, therapuetically, but
I have not smoked any in several years. Anyway, I
went to my family doc & was diagnosed with bronchitis.Saw my pdoc today. Am switching meds. The Serzone
isn't effective for my depression and is still
causing vertigo, I can't handle that. So I begin a
Serzone taper and begin 75mg Effexor tomorrow.
