Welcome to My Blog

Hello!

I am successfully being treated for major depressive disorder. Besides seeing my lovely psychologist regularly and my psychiatrist several times a year, I put a lot of effort into self-care.

I hope my journey and efforts encourage you.

If you are having an emergency, psychiatric or otherwise, go the emergency room or call 911 or your local paramedics. Call your doctor. Call the police. Call someone!!!!

You are worthy enough to be alive on this planet.

Abilify is Buzzing

Last week I went out every evening after work. That's new for me. I even signed up for dance lessons. The side effect is that my nerves are buzzing and I'm shaking, shaking, shaking. On Thursday I saw Dr. Kuo my psychiatrist. He lowered the dosage of my Wellbutrin XL and my Cymbalta. Thank goodness. I will see him once more this month.

I wondered if I could cut my 300 mg of Wellbutrin XL in half since I am now on 150 mg. I called the pharmacists, and she said no. The formula of the XL would be negated and I would experience side effects if I cut it in half. I am so glad I called the pharmacist. I went ahead and had my script filled 150 mg. Call your doctor or pharmacist is you're thinking of messing around with medicine.
