Medication Trial
Hi everyone
@NikNik if this is not allowed pls delete.
tomorrow I'm starting a medication clinical trial at a major hospital in Melbourne. My psychiatrist referred me to this trial as it could help me with BPD depression and menopause. It's a 3 month trial. Tomorrow's day one do it will take 2 1/2 hrs doing blood tests, physical examination, hormone blood test, physc questionnaires and brains scans. I will then be given either the medication or the placebo. I then will be contacted weekly to see how I'm going and if any questions. On week 12 I go back into hospital and re-do same tests as tomorrow. Apparently this medication has been used for alzheimers for years and have niw been found it is helping patients with my type of illness. It is no cost to me at all.
Im looking forward to seeing if this medication will help. Once the trial is finished I then get to see the professor in women's mental health who will guide me in which way to go with regards to meds and hormonal issues.
I'll let you all know how tomorrow goes.
Im scared nervous but also a tiny bit excited.
