Dear Ms. Pharmacist and Mr. Doctor-Smarty-Pants:
I realize you make your money off of repeated doctor’s visits and subsequent prescriptions. You say you are working in my best interests, yet I beg to differ. You gave me these pretty blue pills to take for the next 4 months. I’ve been on them for a few months now, and sure the scary thoughts are going away, but the side-effects suck.
Who wants to fall asleep at 7pm on a Friday night on a regular basis? Or 8:30 on weeknights?
Who wants to get carsick almost every time they set foot in a car, train, bus, airplane, roller coaster as a passenger?
Who wants to lack libido for months on end?
Some things just aren’t worth the consequences. But you say this pill will take away the bad thoughts– so we plug on. Can you get someone to upgrade this pill please?! And maybe get rid of a few of the side effects?
Thanks,
Post-Partum Mommy
These medications for mood swings are really awful.I have tried them once and after a month stopped them because I hated the side effects.
