Gp Visit

DH came with me to see my Gp, she commented on how she hardly ever sees me. Which in itself made me feel better, cos I am sure they see me as a hypochondriac.

She is gonna refer me to the psychiatric team - watch out .... nutter on the loose!!

She asked me to bring a form home to fill in (PHQ9) to which I got 25 points on. Anything above 10 she will consider putting me on anti-depressants have to return it to the surgery at the start of next week.

I told her I didnt mind going on them, if she thought they would help. I have been on Citalopram before, but had to keep upping the dose. Ended up on 40mg. Prozac seemed to work better for me. Only downside is I have a lack of sexual interest, when on them ..... which really irritates me.

Cock up with my repeat emergency prescription for mouthwash, which the Palliative Care Nurse ordered from me on Tuesday. No prescription anywhere, thankfully they did go and get one sorted for us while we waited.

Sounds like a good outcome hun. I'm on citalopram, 20mg and it's fab! Best thing I ever did. Can't say it's affected my sex drive though so maybe give it another try ;o)
