[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 187625"] Thank you everyone for your kind words and compassion. I'm moved to tears. I've decided that when I see my GP on Monday, if she's not comfortable prescribing lamictal then I'm going to get a referral to psychiatrist. I've trialled so many AD's and the lexapro has been wonderful, but it's not enough right now and I don't want to waste time (and side effects) trialling something else that may or may not work. I've done lamictal before, albeit for a short time, and it helped. I never got to therapeutic dose (bad psychiatrist...long story), but it helped. Today was bad. Hard. I was being stubborn and did not use my shower stool and I underestimated how weak I was. Just washing my hair made my arms ache and so weak, I could hardly pick up the bottle of soap. And when I turned I almost fell out of the shower. Fortunately, the shower curtain rod is strong, as is the liner. I got out of the shower, laid down on my bed and just sobbed. Then I got dressed, gave easy child a shopping list and then went to bed and slept for 4 hours. 9/3 was the first available appointment and is really only a week and a half away which isn't bad for someone I haven't seen before. And nothing big is going to happen with one appointment. I don't do well with therapy...that whole being vulnerable thing. I'd rather chew off my right arm. But, I know I need to go and do something and am trying to be proactive. Trying. Sighhhhhhhh...... [/QUOTE]
