Like A Rock ~ Fukitoff Fails

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Well, unfortunately, going off Fukitol didn’t work as well as we may have hoped, what with the late night panic attacks and the crushing despair and all. Back on Fukitol I go.

However, since I was trying to go off that one because I’m tired of waking up with half my face contorted like Popeye’s, or having the floor slide out from under me whenever I turn my head, I am going to find me another brand.

This could take a while.

I don’t think the one I’m on right now is a winner. I have finally discovered what people mean when they say they felt “unmotivated” on antidepressants. I always get a certain measure of inertia on them, but this one goes beyond a bit of unmotivation. At this point, activity has been rendered almost purely theoretical. It’s a very strangely numb feeling.

So I think I’m going to have to do a few trials again.

Damn. I hate these reminders that chronic conditions are … well … chronic. Depression sucks.

Boo to that! And good luck in your quest to find the right hammer with which to beat your brain into the right shape. What are you trying right now? Generic welbutrin - bupropion - seems to do the trick for my sister and myself, though for some reason the brand-name variety doesn't want to play nice. Still, I had to double my dosage in the past couple of months to get the damn stuff to work again.

Bupropion gave me scary side effects, but budeprion works nicely. Heh.
