Wow, Sean… I second what Jen said. I think I wouldn’t do it because of the side-effects, but then I am very prone to getting all sorts of them. Maybe you’re a bit more “robust” than me.
Please be very, very careful.
Anyway, I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

I’ll be thinking of you Sean :)

If the psychiatrist finds some way of helping you please let him know your not the only transabled person in the area, it kills me that I know I can’t trust my doctor with my secret.

Hey Jen, Yes, I’ll be careful. I’ve already researched the proposed medication and have a long list of questions for the shrink when I meet him in a few days. Amongst which is “how long before a result should be seen?”.

Be careful! Please! Anti-psychotics are the heavy hitters of the psychotropic world. There can be very bad side effects. Before you even get the Rx filled, research all you can on what you’ve been prescribed.

Don’t sacrifice your health just to prove you went down every avenue.

Just sayin.

Courage! I know the more you try to fight a condition, the less you believe in any new medication, treatments… I see that with a close friend to has been trying to get rid of her backpains for 25 years now. Yet lately she really seems to be on the mend, after going to a doctor who was working with NLP and physiotherapy. Both things together seemed to have made a difference. It was a course of several months though, but that doctor was the first one in all those years to really find out about the psychological component of her pain. He was more successful than the whole lot of psychologists who she had been to before…
Maybe you can bring yourself to giving him a chance to do you something good. I wish you all the best for it!
