@Mindee I forgot to mention the reason I have no motivation is because the antidepressant that I was one (which made me feel the best I have in 23 years) was discontinued. So, my pharmacist just changed my medication over to the generic brand without telling me.
I love coin collecting, so when I started to lose interest and would let my coin deliveries sit there for 6 weeks without bothering to open them, I knew something was not right. I questioned the pharmacist, and that's when he told me, he changed it to the generic. I felt so sad and miserable, I didn't know what to do with myself. When I told the pharmacist that they were not working, he suggested trying another generic brand of the same medication. So, we did that. And while this medication has taken away that miserable sadness, I still don't feel right. I basically feel numb, and most days I don't even bother to get out of bed, as I have nothing to get up for.
I saw my doctor, and she referred me to a bulk billing psychiatrist close by. But then I received a phone call from the clinic saying that the psychiatrist has denied my referral. They did tell me why, but i was in shock, so I didn't hear what she said. I have another doctor's appointment in a couple of weeks, where I was going to ask her to do another referral.
A lovely member on here asked if we had a Psychiatrist Medication Advice Line in my state. I had never heard of such a thing. And I looked it up and we do. So, I will take the information to the doctors, to see if she would use that service, so I can hopefully, find a better medication sooner. Because who knows how long the wait is to get an appointment.
