The reason I am on my third drug is because I had such bad reactions to the first two. I nearly passed out on my first dose of prozac and had bad vertigo for the next week that I kept taking it. The vertigo never got better so I stopped with my doc's ok. The next, Welbutrin, which was a complete disaster, extreme dizziness, nausea, vomiting, ringing ears. I couldn't get out of bed for 6 hours. So we tried amitryptoline (sp??). I started on a really low dose (5 mg) and physically I handled it fine but it was such a low dose that after about 3 weeks of absolutely no improvement of my moods I asked for a bigger dose (we went to 25 mg but I cut them in half for the first week). I've been taking the full 25 mg for about a week now.
Last night when I posted the original message was really bad. I was having crying jags for no apparent reason (I was REALLY tired from having worked an early shift so I'm sure that didn't help). My hubby was already asleep and I just needed to vent. I know you guys would be understanding. I have a follow up scheduled with the doc and if I'm still not feeling better I'll get a referal to a therapist.
