Hello Jules:
How are you doing? Thank you for the kind words.
I am still hurting from the pdoc's abusive way he treated me but I will not feel bad about taking an active role in my treatment. I believe that pdoc, although very good at dx, has some problems of his own. I would never go back to him. I see now that he was offended when I just didn't take what he wanted me to take. I was not being disrespectful, it is just part of my ocd/anixety to be cautious and ask questions. He couldn't see that I guess and a doc should see that is part of what is going on with me.
He even told me that remeron is bad but does not have that bad of withdrawal. We know better don't we? Many of us know about remeron.
Right now, I am on the 3rd day of no lunesta. My sleep is very odd right now, lots of dreaming and interrupted sleep. But, that is better than no sleep. I will see my family doc this week and take a look at my plan and if I can't get some sleep I will have to try luvox or another ssri. I have never really tried one and they help with ocd stuff so I am told. I have given it a good try being med free after 14 years but quality of life is not good.
I have been having some anxiety issues recently and I think for me, benzo's may not work. They seem to make me depressed. That may be why lunesta caused a problem with me too. I am off the lithium for about 4 or 5 weeks now and feel better off of it so the doc that was mean helped me some too. I also have been taking stuff for allergies so I was hoping that it was the lithium and allergies causing sleep issues. We will see how things play out the next couple of days or so.
I hope you are doing better.
