new meds | eyes's Blog

Well, I did it. It scares me half to death to try new medications, but I felt like it needed to be done. I started anxiety medications this morning. So far, I'm tired and have a headache, but don't know if that has anything to do with the pills, although both are potential side effects (of nearly every medication).

My parents and my friends know I am on the medication, so they know if anything changes my behavior too much. They also know that if that happens, I need to quit the medication immediately, regardless of "warnings" about just stopping the medications.

I am hoping it will help with my social anxiety and help me reduce my normal stress levels.

Wish me luck.

On th4e flip side, the doctors visit itself did not help my stress. I have to get them to send my records to a different doctor (specialist) because I need one. They seemed upset I would go to a specialist - offered just to write me the prescription for the meds I need.... a prescription they have refused to write me for the past several years, insisting I would benefit from the synthetic form more. That one never did a darn thing for me, and they previously told me no one was allowed to write new prescriptions for it and other untruths. The only reason I keep going to this GP is that my insurance is a pain in the arse about switching GPs. I'm going to be looking for a new one now. That was not the first argument I've gotten into with the doctors who took over my beloved family clinic. (This may be what caused the headache - lol - see why?)
