butterfingersbimbo Report post Posted October 18, 2006 oh no, sounds like you are really having a hard time. not sure what to suggest but think that you have probably done the right thing going to the docs. i have recently come off my anti d's.....about four weeks ago. they took about a week to start getting into my system, but to be honest i felt such relief from just going in the first place and admitting i needed help! i think its so important that we look after our own mental health, i wish i hadnt "let" myself get into such a state in the first place.....but anyway, feel so much better now after eighteen months of them......well that is until i am hormonal again.....

phoebe Report post Posted October 18, 2006 woah.......................................... what a load of sh*t for you. <'> <'> <'> <'> <'> From my experience I was told they would take about 4 weeks to kick in. Anyway, I was first given prozac and although the sleeping improved, and I cried less, i felt emotionally dead and wasnt really reacting to anythting - left it 2 months before i returned for repeat script and then tried another med cefalexin which did work for me. I am now off it. It gave me the strength to put some things right in my life and to tell the people who mattered that I needed some support. Anyway the moral of the story is, wait 4 weeks but no longer. If they are not working by then TRY SOMETHING ELSE. Â Take care things will get better Phoebe <'> <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jlp Report post Posted October 18, 2006 That sounds like an awful lot on your plate. I'm on ads and couldn't imagine not taking them - especially with the cold days and dark nights approaching. I think they definately help. Â With regard to your dd we have actually walked out of the hospital mid treatment with ds#1. It was only a cannula in his hand but not managed well and particularly distressing for ds (they had 4 tries). We did complain and it was much better the second time, a nurse he was very familiar with did the procedure and they had a goodie bag for him, sorted out the numbing cream and the cannula went in first time. Sometimes you have to point out it's a routine job for them but extremely distressing for your child, I think that can be forgotten by professionals.

dooday24 Report post Posted October 18, 2006 that is so true jlp wen they put shannons canula in this time it was like a horror film (blood bath) it was everywere Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlp Report post Posted October 18, 2006 And cannulas blooming hurt even when you're an adult never mind a little hand! Â It was similar with ds - except one nurse had the lack of sense to giggle when it didn't go in for the 4th time (and the doctor left to take a phone call mid procedure). Â Good luck with the second opinion, from what I've seen if you come in as a 'second opinion' (we changed gps over ds' eczema and lack of referral to hospital) they seem to know you mean business and take what you say seriously. Â They can't just not treat her just because she's tricky to treat - I imagine most 4 year olds are! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
