i was tired of meds too. now i really wish i had them!
about meds i have encountered: yikes! i have a poor memory (i am old!). i've tried lithium, depakote, topamax (yup, that's the one that works best for me). and so many other meds, it's impossible to even remember them. lithium made me delusional (called my dr once saying 'my walls are bending, help me!' and they were bending! and i thought my dog was trying to kill me (hey, he was a big doggie!). i have an apt with pdoc jan 8 (god, is it jan 8 yet?).
oh, i'm dx with bipolar disorder, btw (among other things). and i've been given so many ad (antidepressants, you'll learn the lingo quick!) that i couldn't begin to recall them. but, i did take one (for the life of me i can't remember it) that threw me into a full-out manic attack (seriously, like not knowing where i was, little sleep for over a month, being completely inappropriate (me? ha!) in behavior. once, i was watching some news program for a class and i thought dan rather was talking directly to me, through the tv screen.
and you can of course say that you are tired of depression. trust me, people here will sympathize more than you'd think. i think everyone here is tired of depression (it sucks!!!!).
take care rose (you know, my niece's middle name is rose and i call her rosie. you aren't 5 years old, are you?). and have a very happy holidays.(oh, and good luck using the search method. kk's never been able to figure out how to use it right)
bye bye sweetie pie,
kk
