Journal Entry for June 7, 2007 Mood
Thursday, June 7, 2007
The last few days have been weird. It went ok with the consultant. He noticed i'd lost weight (which is always good). I said about my legs and he said i would probably need long term medication like gabapentin? Went back to the docs too about the headaches etc. I looked up on the net and think the symptoms i've been getting are because of the withdrawal symptoms from the prozac. However it would be impossible to do it any slower than i have been so we are going to try and do it fast so i know i'm going to feel terrible for the next couple of weeks. he's given tranqs to cope with any anxiety effect but can give me nothing for the physical effect. i'm a bit scared to be honest i really want to get off these things but i dont want my depression to go downhill. One good thing though te consultant has said i should be ok to have a baby so heres the to do list:  get off tablets, get on diet, lose weight, have injections so can get off other tablets, get pregnant (all without worrying that its never going to happen). I only know Carpe Diem so just pretend i sound all clever and am actually saying live for today and dont worry like a demented mayfly about having a baby before i'm too old. If anyone knows what that is in latin you get a BIG hug for being clever. P.S Poor mayfly's. Only one day of life. can you imagine the dating stress; and how would you relate not coming off as a slut to damm i've only got 5 hours to live! Mayflys must need a lot of therapy if they have time.  P.P.S sorry got a bit off track there. x

    Your mayfly sidetrack makes me laugh. Good luck with getting off the Prozac, and I'm glad you got something for your legs.
