  2. thanks lthomas,

    the doc did mention that about the antis, the trouble with the sedating ones is that I generally lack energy to begin with. And I was thinking if this becomes a serious depression I will have to take the meds.

    Most likely there will be no problem re the liver. But the less meds, the better is always a guideline. We (the dr and I) are trying to avoid it.

    I was telling Pat S I was crying in my dreams over a realistic situation (at school) with my 11 year old. Not something that did happen but not wild dream material either. Anyway I take that as sympton of depression too. Well -if it gets bad there will be no question.

    Have to write melanie and see what I can learn about menopause. I am 50 years old, BTW.

    I appreciate the concern :)

    and thankyou OLL I plan to check that out. I work at McDonald's! That al'do it. (made me smile- yeah that's a good sign!)

    I went looking for that book (which is due to arrive on the 4th), OLL, and came across this.

    interesting........

  3. thankyou guys, :)

    menopause has not been ruled out . I've been peri- seems like forever, but at least 5 years. Only time will tell if my last period was indeed my last. The doc did not- yet -run the FSH (?) soon I suppose.

    Everything is ok except for visiting my mother in a nurseing home, and I have huge guilt over that. But I don't go because I think I need to tend to the home front. Been about a month since I was there.

    I love church but have not been going about a year- not enough energy for everything.

    Irritable and tearfull was ok, I did not take it seriously and found my sentimental emotionalism humorous. I was aware of, but bearing ,the guilt over my mother, but recently- like yesterday- I felt taken a hold of. Its like being hopelessly ensnared.

    I have only felt that once before and it was deppression.

    I will PM you roselover.

    thanks again

  4. been increasinly irritable, tired, tearful. Thought it was menopause. I think it may be deppression now. I can't take anti deppressents and sleep- they keep me up. I may refuse to take them. Doc wants to see me in 6 weeks, agreed to put me on St. Johns wort. If I have to take a sleep med to counter the anti- its just not good.

    I have liver damage. I did experiance major deppression once from anti-viral meds. I took the procaz for that- since, a, I was not working and could afford to toss and turn, and b, I knew it would lift when the anti viral treatment was over. ANYWAY, I DO NOT WANT TO GO THERE AGAIN!

  5. I let my doc choose the tests to run!

    When I have input he listens.

    I suspect that Drs. have a protacol that they must follow- for three reasons. One being ins company rules ,to protect them from malpractice, and the standard that they were taught works best.

    It is very frustrating how long a dx takes sometimes and its possible to meet with high or low abilites in any field. I think the human body is enormously complex and that's the heart of the matter.

    BUT you Dr. should "answer" the concerns you put forth here. That is a fair expectition- I think.

    good luck!

  6. masuemh,

    I have a feeling your conversion disorder, is the same as my DX of puesdo seizures.

    inaccurate! However I'm not saying I think it is epilespy. Something to keep in mind. The body is enormously complex. You might ask your neuro about getting a "SPECT" scan. I got one. I was sent to a phychiratrist with puesdo seizures, he ordered the SPECT Scan checking for epilepsy. From that of course I deduce its heplfull to DX epilepsy.

  7. lamictal causes downregulation of cortical 5-HT which antidepressents do also.

    "However, its exact mechanism of action in these conditions remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antidepressant-like effect of lamotrigine in a mouse model of depression, namely the forced swimming test"
