Hi kids..
Well, here's the update -- after 5 months of waiting for a sleep test, the clinic has been told that they can not order these tests, by the hospital -- and that my primary care doctor will have to do it.
And, immediately after xmas I am going to be taken off all of my medications -- to see what happens, because they really can't figure out what they are dealing with.
I started on Celexa a year and a half ago for major depression -- got better -- got worse -- then Wellbutrin was added. Got better -- got worse. Then I was taken off those. Since I was very young I have had a binge eating problem -- so they started Effexor -- no noticeable change (up to 225mg); started ritalin because too tired, eyes slamming shut and the whole deal (took all the blood tests one could take, reviewed by docs., endocrinologists, and pdocs. no visible problems) -- then was taken off that after my blood pressure went from 108/60 to 130/90. Then put back on wellbutrin. Now my sleep is all screwed up (even after a month)-- keep waking up. Still tired. Binge eating is back.
I also have been doing psychological testing over the last week -- first the pictures, then the MMP1-2, and then something else next friday... then a report will be made.
SOMEBODY OUT THERE TALK TO ME. I don't know what to make of all of this. Has anyone been taken off all their meds to see what happens? What happened?
