As some of you may know, my doctor went away for a year on some form of leave.
I found out a few days ago that he was actually canned (or left?) from the position as the head psychiatrist at Waterloo University.
I am kind of not suprised if he was fired. He didn't much listen to what I was saying and kept going on about treating depersonalization, even though the depression was more cripling. He didn't much believe in antidepressants even though they had been them most tollerable and sucessful.
Anyhow, as I had no doctor, I went to the ER after not sleeping almost 4 nights in a row.
The doctor put me back on effexor and zyprexa. (75mg/2.5mg). It is helping some, *definately* more than lamotrigine and seroquel. I am sleeping much better.
I find it suprising that I can sleep better on effexor than I could on lamotrigine.
Anyhow, I am more pleased that while the meds won't be perfect, I do think this is a step forward as many of you know I have been struggling to establish get my bipolar/unipolar condition reassesed.
