Sorry I haven't posted for a few days... I had some really down days when I didn't even want to turn the computer on. But, I persisted in finding a new Pdoc on a morning when I woke with enough energy to do so and had my first visit. I think I'll be able to work with him. He wants me to stop taking the Effexor (I am on Celexa and BuSpar, too) and add Neurontin. He initially suggested Lithobid but I have gained so much weight already, and I don't think I could keep absolute compliance with lithium, with all the blood draws and side effects. He was incredulous as to why my previous doc failed to notice my obvious (to him) bipolar tendencies and why I was not on a mood stabilizer.
I just took my 3rd dose, and I am at work and feeling a little drowsy but ok. I woke with a really dry mouth.
As for the books I read that day, well- I am fascinated by psychology, and I like to read forensic psychiatry stuff. That was one book ... The others were : "Fit fot Life:A New Beginning", and some books by Gary Null. I don't read fiction very often, but I did like "The Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing" by Melissa Bank.
Gotta go for now - I am nodding off slighly from the Neurontin....zz...zzzz.zzzzz...zz.zzzzz..zzz : )
