New meds making me feel sick

New meds making me feel sick

OMG these new meds are making me feel so sick.

Since July when i was last in hospital i have changed meds and gone up and strength, then down a strength, then up double strength. Last week my psych decided to change meds again but not in hospital. He had me on the old one (reduced strength) plus taking my new one all at the same time. I have had no 'wash out period' at all this time.

Today is my second day on my new meds and I am feeling so sick. Worse than before. The nausea is horrible, the headaches still there and the woozy giddy feeling is yuk.

I struggle at work today. I have just made a cup of tea to help and my daughter found some peppermint oil which i have just put on my stomach and behind my ears (as per google!!!)

Gosh i wish there was something else i could do. I can't speak to my GP or psych as they are both finished for the day.

Not doing great 😞

Re: cRe: Sleeping too much

Sitting here listening to Elton John. It is disgusting outside, pouring with rain and hail.

Wish this damn cold weather would go away. This weather makes me really sad.

Have to stop myself from negative thougths.

@BlueBay. One big tight comforting hug for you. ♥♥♥♥
You need to try to stop blaming yourself. It simply is what it is.
But I remember that feeling of 'I don't think I want to be fixed- because it's just too hard'. I don't feel that way now. Now that I'm learning more about my illness and myself - I'm so grateful that I persisted with my therapy.
Abandonment is a major issue for you. I see that.
Are you able to think optimistically about your new November therapist? Because I think she is going to be brilliant for you. And you will grow and gain in strength.
A second big hug for you. ♥♥♥

@utopia thank you for the hugs. xxoo

right now I can't see anything positive.

All i can see are my faults. I keep thinking how much i am going to miss my therapist, being abandoned and feel jealous that he has other clients that will still see him. While i was in the waiting room this morning he client walked out and I thought 'gee how lucky is she, she will still get to see him'.

I really don't know how i am going to cope at next session (most likely the last) with my therapist. I am crying now just thinking about it.

Maybe i need to email him and tell him that's it it's over, i can't come to next session. i don't know.

He is one special person and now I am losing him - all because of me. 😞

i hope you are right @utopia in that this new psychologist will be good for me

Re: New meds making me feel sick

do you know what makes things worse - when my bloody husband cracks it with me becaue i didn't understand what he was saying.

why do some men have to be like this; i wish i could run away (i know everyone keeps telling that wouldn't work)

self sabotage seems liek a good idea right now. nothing else is going to work. i am so angry right now.'

should sleep now but won't sleep tonight.

Oh how horrible @BlueBay 😞

Just what you needed after you were already having a crappy day, that really isn't fair of your husband at all. What else could you do to vent your anger that isn't self sabotage?

Re: New meds making me feel sick

hi @BlueBay,

i know what your going through with your psychologist. I did exactly the same as you. I sent emails saying that I would change and tried everything. In the end I guess I did need to change but change and the feeling of abandonment is so intense. It is really awful for us to go through this, such an massive upheaval. I was guilty of not doing the work as much as I should have. I guess what I want to say and hopefully it will help is that you will learn from this and I think you will have a better relationship with your next therapist. I can look back now and see it as something that had to happen. When it happened to me I couldn't cope at all. I was constantly on crisis lines and when I wasn't I was drugging myself so I wasn't awake. I was spending 18-20 hours in bed and left my kids to fend for hemselves for about 3 months until I started with my current therapist. Slowly things are on a very slow climb up but I'm still all over the place. Last night I was in distress again as well and I hate it. Please go easy on yourself. It is such a distressing time. I still haven't dealt with the abandonment issues from that and my therapist has helped heaps with moving a way towards it.

Sending heaps of hugs because I understand the pain and insecurity you are going through with this 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤔🤗💐💐💐💐💐💐🎉🎉🎉

@Zahlia
Self harm is the way to get rid of my anger pain and frustration.
He just doesn't get it. And he huffs and puffs all the time.
@Former-Member thank you for knowing what I'm going through. It is so tough and the closer to the end date the harder it is. Abandonment is hard to deal. I know you are struggling too. Xxoo

Just made spag bol for tea. Helping my daughter book her seats for her flight tomorrow. She and her boyfriend are off to the Gold Coast for a week. I will miss her so much.

Oh yummy! I love spag bol, such a quick easy meal.

It's nice your daughter is escaping this dreadful weather though.... the Gold Coast would be so lovely to holiday in!
