could some of my 'odd' reactions to meds be psychosomatic? i'm sure some could... i have enough other psychological issues and no one really knows how the brain works so it is always a possibility after all, that's also why we get the placebo effect right?
almost all the symptoms i could live with except (and i mean this literally) i could not live with the swelling in my nasal passages/throat back of tongue). it was constricting my throat and it was getting worse. and it was my T's suggestion that it was a SJS reaction not mine... pdoc never said either way.
now, with that in mind. i have had a similar reaction to zyprexa once when a doc increased too quickly, i had my tongue swell.
plus since i have asthma, i'm sure that didn't help much.
but quite frankly for folks to say just 'get over it' and try it again, is slightly like those that have told me similar about my depression and a little insulting. then again, i have a lot of apathy these days, and quite frankly just don't care after 2min.However,
with all this said, i am under care of a pdoc. SHE is the one dictating this and much less flexible than my last doc. i am fairly sure that if i was allowed to get back on my adderall it would make a huge difference and probably just the bump i need. in fact i have been feeling better and think it may be the ONLY bump i need. however, she has not agreed to that yet. last week she wasn't sure where to go next. so i was just seeing which direction others may suggest.
pretty much everything people suggested i've been on before and has either not worked or pooped out.Except Zyprexa mentioned the perphenazine. I think i will mention this to her (AGAIN) and see what she thinks.
Thing is, it seems my mood is better (only slightly underwater) but my energy is still in the toilet. no motivation, don't want to do anything, no goals...etc.so i think next appt i will suggest either:
perphenazine and adderall combo or
try TCA, except i'm still on pristiq 50mg and i assume i may have to go off that which more weeks lost...anyway....
thanks.
i'll maybe post again if something does end up working. i've kinda lost hope but also don't really care right now. i have no job to worry about, no hobby, and i have amazon prime and all the instant videos i need. not to mention we just got new pillows.i'm set.
who needs to get out of the house anyway.b
