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.

Hang in there. Lexapro keeps chugging away... as long as I can put up with the clenched teeth and undying thirst. Paxil pooped but was better in many ways. *sigh*

Lexapro made me gain weight like Jabba the Hutt in a Krispy Kreme factory. Of course, if I keep not moving this stuff'll probably have the same effect. *grumble*

Just curious, have you tried Abilify yet? Not sure I'd outright recommend it, since, in the end I was paranoid I was becoming a zombie- but it didn't cause weight gain or various other nasty side effects for me, and DID seem to work well for a while at least.

Hehe. Love the imagery. That was me on Paxil. Have actually lost some weight on Lexxie. It's a little more 'speed-ish' for me, but sometimes I feel brittle.
