> It's horrible to feel like this. I'm glad your husband is supportive. I had a supportive boyfriend but he left last time I was like this so now I'm all alone trying to deal with this. I have family but they live 2 hours away. I feel so alone and don't know what to do. I'm sorry you're feeling so bad too. I just wish there was something to help us. Do you know what you're going to try next?
Well first thing tomorrow morning I'm going to try and get an appointment with my regular Dr. My next appointment with the Pdoc isn't until the 14 of Dec., which I think is ridiculous, I cannot wait that long. I'm going to tell her that the emsam isn't working out for me and that I want to try parnate. I've been taking 40 mg of ritalin though, I don't know if that would prevent me from trying the parnate right away. If she does prescribe it, I'm going to start it regardless. I dont' know what else to do. My husband and I were talking about whether or not I should admit myself to the hospital and wait everything out there, for the medication to work basically. I'm sorry that you have to go through this alone and away from family. Do you work during the day, or have something to keep your mind busy during the day? It's hard for me because I stay home, and I really need something to keep me busy during the day. Being like this and being a homemaker do not mix well. Are you still on the emsam? The washout to start another maoi is 10 days or a week, I'm not sure but I'm going with the 10 days. Well, let me know how you're doing and hang in there..
