Well, a few days off of opiates. I think I will get clean for a while to examine my options. Street drugs and euphorics are just not helping my depression for any longer than they last in my system, not a good plan right now, all those ups and downs. I will be meeting with a new pdoc soon and I've decided to just take what is prescribed without augmenting behind their backs and not telling them. Right now I take Effexor150XR and Welbutrin300XR, the Effexor has to go, I'm just taking that now to ward off withdrawl (I tryed to go cold turkey last month...). I've never tryed MAOI before, I wonder if that could be it? I'm pretty desperate to be considering putting myself completely in the 'professionals' hands and being honest... I really don't trust them much. I'm in limbo!!! Giving up weed for the time being too. Does anybody else feel like talking about starting over? Again. What meds do you like for depression? MAOI?

That's exactly what I'm doing. Starting over, new pdoc, older, meaning she is familiar with the older tried and true drugs. I haven't even asked if she uses MAOI's. Fondly, Phillipa

I have to give up on alcohol. My liver is raising levels. Even though I only had average of 1 drink a day. Or one to 2 a day, most days of the week. I blame it all on meds, I take so many that I can not drink alcohol with them, at all just about. I'm only being alowed 2 a week. So I droped to meds compleatly. Almost killed the alcohol, which is no that bad. My only addictive habit is smoking 5 cigs a day. I've tried to quit, no good.
I do tell my doctors every little detail, more than they want to know. I started being honest 4 years ago. It can be a good and bad thing. Some times I wish they knew less, but who cares what they think. Think I've been too demanding with them lately.
