I am getting very anxious because I have a doctors appointment tomorrow for several different issues. I suffer from depression, ocd, anxiety disorder and trichotillomania ( which is a hair pulling disorder). I slept for a total of two whole hours last night and I feel like I’m going to die. The doctor will probably tell me that we can only discuss “one topic”, and I’ll have to make a separate appointment for some of the others and I really think that they say that to get more money out of patients? Or is it because I have too many issues and it would take too much time? Why can’t they just go down the list and try their best to make my life better? Since I started on this new medicine Cymbolta I have had side effects every single day. I am nauseated, nervous, my stomach makes loud noises, diariah and dizziness. I also have had suicidal thoughts, moodiness and I can be just plain mean at times and this is not who I am. I love children, I care about people and the world and I hate being like this. I also have aches and pains all over my entire body and I’m only 34 years old! Cymbolta is supposed to help with this. I wrote down stuff to discuss with the doctor and hopefully we will be able to come up with some type of solution to my dictionary of medical issues. – I am now back from seeing the doctor and it didn’t go as bad as I thought it would. Though my doctor is in training (all my doctors since I was 11 years old have been) since I go to an office in Washington State that is strictly for that, she was very attentive to my many needs and ended up putting me back on Zoloft, which is the same medication I switched off of three months ago. I think I am now realizing that “ANY” medication they give me for depression is going to have side effects and I need to stay on the one thing that keeps me from being suicidal, since that is one of the main reasons I take anti-depressants. Here is a very important phone number to have in case of a medical emergency/ suicidal thoughts-
