Depression no more..

What a difference the correct meds make. I was DX 4/11 and my PCP started me on an AD (Pristiq). I have taken that since but remained in a funk that I did not recognized. It was not until a talk with my DW that I realized just what kind of mental basket case I was.

The very next day I went to my PCP and he added Buspar the mix. After a few weeks I could feel a huge difference. I am in sales so I really need to be sharp and I was anything but. Now I am on my game and feel great mentally. Physically well that's a completely different story.

It really is amazing how one can tolerate the daily SX when it does not affect you mentally.

Hay friend!

I agree it does help. I was on Wellbutrin for fatigue and it definitely did help with the fatigue, but made the memory and communication issues worse. I stopped b/c it caused anxiety. It was not till months after stopping that I realized I was remembering and communicating better.

I really did help deal with the day to day emotional issues that come with being ill. I was able to more calmly accept things, but unfortunately could not communicate them very well.

I am so glad to hear you are doing well, and wish for that to continue. May your physical issues be short-lived and if not may you learn to adapt and cope.

I think if nothing else,having a chronic illness requires a lot of mental tenacity. If you are in sales, then you most certainly have it. I should know, I did outside sales for Yellow Book in dallas fort worth. Talk about a den of back stabbing vipers.

take care,
