Hi KrissyRN, I feel your pain, some days it feels like a train going no-where and there is no stops. What exactly are you taking? I was in the hospital with 38+ other people with a number of different mental illnesses, mainly depression and bipolar. When I was put on new meds and the side effects were at there worst (first 3 weeks) I found it tolerable because I had other people physically around me that were going or had gone through the same thing plus doctors/nurses checking on me daily, having my blood work and vitals on a regular basis all made it tolerable and comforting (even though it was not pleasant at times) my body has finally accept the medication and it is working well for me. There are still a few side effects but the pros out weigh the cons right now. It may take a while before you find the right combination of medications but what I am basically saying is it may be beneficial for you to get into a hospital for 3-4 weeks if at all possible, at least you will be in a place that you can be monitored have support around you and be able to get lots of rest, also you will have medications available to you that you would never get if at home to combat some of the side effects and make things a little more comfortable. Just a thought and dont be too scared of the hospital, I was committed without choice and would have never gone on my own but looking back it was a really good thing for me. Hang in there youll make it.

KrissyRN, Keep working with your NP. You're right it is frustrating but it will be worth it in the end. Hang in there! Do any members have any advice for Krissy on this matter? Danielle ___________________________ The DC Support Team

I'm so frustrated. I'm going to have to switch to another med. My psych NP (who I LOVE) told me earlier this week that if my side effects didn't get better, they'd have to switch me to something else. They have gotten worse this week! I cry everytime I think of switching meds. I'm so tired of the anxiety attacks, fatigue and multitude of other side effects that come with a new med. I'M JUST SICK OF THIS ALL! why can't I be "normal", sane, not have ups and downs and all that crap? why me? I'm learning about the grieving process in school right now, and if I had to pick a stage, I'd say I'm in between Anger and Bargaining. If I take this pill and go to my therapist, I'll be all better. OR this pill isn't working = anger! UGh! I'm just super frustrated. This week my new med has induced migraines for 7 days, dizziness/lightheadedness whenever I sit up, stand up or walk too fast down the hallway. I've also been experiencing nausea, blurry eyes/vision, lethargy to the point where it HURTS to hold up a small paperback book in my hand to read it. Constipation, itchy skin, you name it, I have it! I'm falling apart! I'm 22! How can this be possible? This is insane...someone please stop the train, I want to get off. OH and now after a 10hour ER visit I was diagnosed with vertigo. Another med, plus I still feel dizzy and have a pounding headache. wonderful. my life is interfering with my life. i hate it.
