Doctor's Prognosis and a Massage
I had an appointment with my doctor this afternoon to talk about how the first two weeks on Paxil went. I told him about the intense nausea, sleeplessness, and weird feelings that I get if I look at a computer screen for a long time and he said that it sounds like while the Paxil is making me feel better, that it may not be the drug for me. He moved me to something called Lexapro instead. He said that it is a "cleaner" drug and I probably won't experience as many side effects on it. He also gave me a perscription for Ambien, so I'm looking forward to finally getting some sleep.
I also had a massage appointment with the local intern clinic (five hour massages for $100; it's an unbeatable deal) and it was fabulous. Usually when I get a massage I don't want to talk, I just want to be rubbed. The lady tonight, however, and I just kind of clicked. We talked the whole time and she was just so sweet. She has six kids which totally shocked me since I couldn't image having that many, but she absolutely rocked. It's a shame she's graduating this week or I would request her again in a heartbeat.
I am now off to shower and get all this stuff off, but I just had to come and blog. No, I'm not an addict or anything. 
Don't forget, if you want to guest blog here while I'm on vacation this next week, just send me an e-mail!

Paxil really made me feel weird, glad your doc was supportive! :)

.: Daphne said on May 6, 2003 02:10 AM :: link it :.I'm glad your doctor was opening to change you. I haven't been on Lexapro, but I was on Paxil, and it was the worse of the bunch they tried out for me.
{{{hugs}}}
i hope the new one works for you. don't you sometimes wonder, if lexapro is "cleaner" why wasn't it perscribed in the first place??
