[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to your OB and have specific notes—the exact birth control and depressants you have been on and the side effects.

Be open to trying different meds.

I also recommend Dr. Barbara Byers, who is a reproductive psychiatrist, but prepare to pay out of pocket.[/quote]

I tried 8 SSRIs. Never doing it again, sorry. [/quote]

Gosh then I guess you’ve chosen to try suppressing violent impulses. Have fun. [/quote]

I don’t believe that every emotion needs to be medicated. It’s not SSRIs or nothing. SSRIs often have huge downsides. I spent two years weaning off of Effexor (Google discontinuation syndrome) another year losing the 30 pounds I gained while on it, and then several years in therapy addressing the bulimia I developed as a coping strategy while being gaslighted by my psychiatrist (who spent years ramping up my doses of various SSRIs, switching my meds, insisting I could never live without medication, and denying my complaints that my SSRIs were causing extreme fatigue, weight gain, and low libido).

To try and suggest to me that with that history my only option is to somehow return to being medicated, is pretty insulting. [/quote]
