[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 234125, member: 6271"] Heather: Smart one you! The fact that you are aware that you are having a clinical depression and the medication trial...low dose...first try, wasn't a winner is not really a reason to decide that you are stuck with clinical depression with no treatment suited to you. It does REALLY REALLY tank that at this point in time the clinicians are check to test on people with depression. The hope that this one or the next one will be a good servicable vehicle for you to get out of the rut of a depressive spiral is alot for the practioners to require. Yet it is YOUR LIFE and the reason it is so much work to get the right treatment and the right mix of this and that for some people is maybe one day not going to be so trial and error. the use of the evaluation questions seems to me to be one of the more viberant tools that a practioner can use that does give them good facts to peg their besst assessment and pick a winner faster. Also it is absolutely sencible to have either a social worker or a trusted and level headed friend do a check in with you when you are going through depression wether you choose to treat or not. And if you do choose treatment someone who does know you and can complete an evaluation for your treating psyciatrist will add valuable insight that they observe that you just may not have the objectivity to report. I am not really clear that "low dose" really means that each and every person has the same low medication and high settings. Just today the factor of metabolising was on this site and there are variation there, so common sence says that in a popualtion of billions your "low" maybe my "high" and visa versa. We go through the same "general rule" forse field over antibiotic allergy. I have it, my grandmother had it, and after she survived her life threatening reaction and never took another...then one generation over when it happened to me but that wasn't red flaggy enough...next I had a severe reaction to the alternative type and after that when I list both over and over and over i hear "that only happens in 2% of the population"....yep I got your 2% right here. The stories of people who have had depressive illness and struggle through one wronge attempt after another is daughting. Especially if the medicine requires weeks befor it proves wronge and then weeks to back down and then start another. Definately take time to get ready and i would go see the doctor that gave you that perscription and get an explaination and what ever they have to say about what you have happen and what they think is appropriate...just for your information. Wether you want to follow their advise or not. And ask about the check in calls. That was awfull that you were feelling and thinking like that and we know that IS oart to the risks. It is in the fine print and so does the doctor. Even if only .o321% of the pop. Thank goodness you are off that one. [/QUOTE]
