Re: fifth shot down

[Guest guest]

hi Rita. i was feeling really dizzy and foggy all week and was

concerned when i took my shot yesterday that it was going to be a lot

worse but after a good nights sleep i feel fine.

what kind of anti-depresant (sic) are you on? i was taling 100mg of

trazadone but i cut that to 50 and find i feel a lot better.

one thing i am learning about this treatment is that it isn't

predictable.

tired yesterday but feel better after a nights sleep. I have to take

my daughter Christmas shopping today soooo hope I can hold up. No

symptoms yet. But boy was I tired last night and very restless. Had a

few periods of paranoia and ragey feelings but they passed when I

talked myself down and told myself it was the meds. If I don't really

pay attention to how I am feeling in a moment I can get bitchy

quickly.

hey bob, most ppl need to be on an SSRI like celexa, lexapro, prozac because the Interferon depletes the 'seretonin' in your brain.. Im not sure about trazedone but I think its a tri-cyclic antidepressant and you 'may' need to talk with your doc about whether this is one that can help replace the seretonin or not.. lots of docs rx wellbutrin too but that is helpful but is more specific for dopamine..

Hi Rita,

I took my 5th shot Friday night. I have had an easier time this week. The only thing is I am bleeding and have been thru meapause so I will tell my doctor. My levels are still low and I took my 2nd shot of procrit on Thursday. I hope it starts to work.

ACK! i've taken wellbution before to quit smoking and it worked fine

for that purpose but i was unable to think or sleep. i don't really

suffer from depression, i can usually roll with the flow, but i have

suffered from insomnia since i was a kid. the thing that helps me the

most is ambien but i'm tired of begging for it so i just accept the

trazadone.

and you know what? i'm not so sure i've " suffered " from insomnia.

society tells me i have. left to my natural bio-rythym i go to bed at

4am and get up at 11am without the help of any drugs.

Hi Bob,

My daughter has the same sleep pattern--so she works 6pm to 2am. It suits her fine with the schedule she has had for years. She works in a casino and it is the busiest shift--so I guess many have the same sleep pattern you both have. We can't all fit the same mold. Wouldn't it be boring ?

Cheers, SuziQ

i always looked for 2nd shift jobs and the second shift is always the

most productive. it's when i have to take drugs to go to bed at 10pm

and get up at 6am that i feel bad and produce less.
