No blog yesterday but I was wrapped up in my off-line life. I had my therapist appointment yesterday, after talking for an hour she recommended that I go on anti-depressant meds for 8 weeks. She said I am mildly depressed and doing everything right with my thoughts/cognitive changes as well as behaviours but she felt that my repeated disappointments over the last 2 years have stepped down my serotonin/"the everything's okay brain chemical". I have reservations about taking meds but I have 3 reasons to go ahead. 1. Its only for 8 weeks. 2. I have been so down I don't really remember how it feels to feel the "good" that I took for granted before. 3. I called mother risk and verified that it is safe to be on the anti-depressants prescribed even if I get pregnant. So onward and upward...
Speaking of possible pregnancy, late yesterday afternoon I got a call from Dr. Karnis' receptionist and we now have an appointment for fertility at the transition location for One fertility.
Boy oh boy when you open up to change its amazing how things can really get rollin'!

I've battled with anxiety/panic disorders over the years, never found a med that helped- though I know people who have been tremendously helped. You gotta do what you gotta do :) I really hope they work out for you, and good luck TTC :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nina, It is comforting to know that you and others have similar struggles. So far headaches have been the only side effect so I hope they go away and the benefits kick in. And I will certainly take the good luck for TTC:)
