Trazodone (is that how it's spelled?) is so fun. When I took it at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula in their quite lovely Garden Pavillion, the nurse gave it to me and told me to go to bed. As I don't follow orders well from nurses that remind me of "Nurse Ratchet," I plopped myself down and watched some TV. Wow...did things get weird. As I understand it, Trazodone has hypnotic qualities that (a) help ya sleep and (b) make ya happier. After trying that, Effexor, Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro and several other anti-depressants, I find I'm happier when I just take the lithium my system needs, ride my bicycle all over hell's half acre, look at pretty girls in short-shorts with tanned legs...and if I really need an effective antidepressant, I go to a nude beach. In other words, I tend to applaud your decision to take a stand and say, "That one's not for me, Bud." Diagosed with bipolar in 1985, I'm learning to deal with it better since finding my "family" at Alcoholics Anonymous, and as of 1/3/2013, I will have one year of sobriety and more clarity than I've ever experienced in my lifetime. |
"Md Junction to me is my safe place. A place where I can feel safe to just open up talk about everything without burdening my wife. With all my health issues its nice to know that I am not alone, suffering form fibromyalgia,depression, and costochondritis with anxiety is a nightmare. Having the great people here at MDjunction is so great its hard to put into words. I dont think I would be getting through what I am going through without this great resource. I think everyone should know about mdjunction!" (Fmsdaddy)
