Well I had my cat scan today but won't know anything for a few more days.
Doctor also wants to do an echo on my heart this Friday and have me wear a 24 hour heart monitor. Not sure what that's for or about.She basically seems to want rule out anything "physical" causing this.
She said it could just be "depression or anxiety" but with the blacking out spells, she has some other concerns to rule out first.
She did say some people weird out SSRI's but I should start feeling better if it was simply due to meds in the next week.
She wanted to start me on Cymbalta but I said, " Uh huh" for now.
I want to see if I can regain any normalcy in the next week before I try any other drug.
So Ed, as far as wanting to jump out of the car on the Ativan. I don't know.. I just totally flipped out. For some reason I was convinced I was dying and became completely hysterical, illogical until I zonked out.
I freaked my poor husband out. I've been married for 7 years and he keeps saying, " You have never done this stuff before so I am convinced it's medication."
Maybe he's right. I guess only time can tell.
If I'm not better soon, I will have no choice but to try other meds as I am being a complete failure as a mom and wife right now.
I will keep you posted. Thanks for thinking of me.
