After two weeks from hell and a failed attempt to come off my meds - I finally feel I'm getting there.
I went back onto my mirtazapine and went to see my psych on Thurs last week. I was in there 10 mins and he charged me £120!!!!!! Only to tell me that I had obviously weighed up the pros and cons and opted for the tried and tested mirtazapine (rather than try the new sertraline that would make me feel even more sick!!! Hmmmm - tough choice there!)
He really upset me and said that I will probably need meds for the rest of my life - bit of a problem since we want to start a family soon.
But I am not depressed!!!!!!!!!! I only get "low" when I feel sick and have tummy ache, only because it stops me from being and feeling " normal"!!
My hypnotherapist was really angry, as his comments were not very helpful and that they would make her job even harder.
I'm not going to bother seeing him again - when I do decide to stop the meds again, I'm going to do it with the help of my GP, who was the one that told me its better to get the liquid form and step down more gradually that way! He did good initially 'cos my GP was clueless when it came to choosing the right meds, I suppose its because she ain't a specialist.
Anyone else had a similar experience??? I still feel a little in control 'cos he told me to up the meds to 30mg, whereas I'm sticking to and managing on only 15mg!!!
I WILL beat this on my own!!!
