gets stuck on something and I miss the next thing. I notice it most when watching the news. I keep thinking about the last story and suddenly realize the next story is important, and by then it's over!
I think your PMD is a good place to start to get labs and all. Could turn out to be something with your thyroid or something. But if it is determined that you need an antidepressant, I have heard, and finally followed the advice, that an actual psychiatrist knows a lot more about the meds than a GP/FP/IM. Do not agree to start Effexor, for instance. Psychiatrists call it Side-Effectsor because of all the side effects. Cymbalta is much better if that is the type of drug you need. Cymbalta and one other - possibly Lexapro, but I'm not positive - are the 2 that are most effective for depression and the most patients are able to stay on. Prozac is very popular, but it can cause severe apathy. When I was on it I was WADING through laundry. Talk about depressing, LOL.
You can feel better, so don't give up. Only you can see this through to a solution, which is really hard to do when you are feeling low, but it's worth it. |
