Finally, Already...
Oct. 20th, 2004 07:17 pmAnd so, today, I did something I've probably been putting off for a long time; possibly should have done a long time ago.
I started anti-depressant medication.
I've been pondering this for a while; talked it through with my counsellor and at that time expressed that I was not keen. However, I think it was the week before last when I fell back into a low that lasted about a week, that made me realise I should give it a go. So, I took my first Effexor tablet this morning. Occasional bit of queasiness and light headedness, but it's early days. Apparently, it takes a week to ten days for these things to kick in, and the doc wants a review in two weeks to see how things are going.
So we shall see...
