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.

:/ Dang. I'm sorry. That sucks something bad. Well, maybe you'll be like me with Improved Fukitol and the side effects will subside.

I never had an anxiety attack, migraines, or the sudden desire not to eat anything at all until I switched my own meds. That lasted around two months.

I don't have any (diagnosed) depression, so I can't exactly sympathize, but I'm feeling for you. That's for sure.

Hang in there.

If it makes you feel better, I'm trying to think of something for you for a very belated Christmas present. I don't know if you got that text I sent you a while back, but that rice pillow is AMAZING.

Aww, you're sweet. Presents at any time are good news!

Thanks for the help; I'm okay as long as I stay on the meds. It's just annoying to have to use them.

I got the text, but I hadn't checked my phone for days and felt silly replying four days later. Either way, I'm glad you liked it! My own makes me so happy, especially now I'm teh sick. Hooray for rice! ;)
