Here we go again...

So I saw the psychiatrist yesterday who put me on the Seroquel (turns out I've been on that for nearly 3 years, wow!).  He agrees that it doesn't seem to be doing it's job any more  so he's putting me on something else called Pristiq.  He wants me to stay on the Seroquel for a little while, so that while the Pristiq starts working I still have something in my system.  Apparently the Pristiq takes a while to get into your system, and it can also make you more anxious/irritable/aggressive for a week or so until it really kicks in.  So I apologise to everyone in advance (I've already warned my family).
So here's hoping this new medication works or helps  and when I go back to see him again in 3 weeks he can take me off the Seroquel.  I'm always scared starting new meds, because you never know how your body will take them.  But the side effects are all the usual things, and if anything bad happens, they will take me right off them, so...fingers crossed.
I start taking them tomorrow.

Our financial situation is getting worse and worse here...I really see Xmas not happening...the only gifts under the tree will be what I buy for people.  We could lose our phone and internet next week because we can't catch up on the bill....shopping and rent takes up majority of what my parents are getting now.  It's ridiculous. And I'm losing what should be left of my own money trying to help them stay afloat. *Sigh*

In other news, I was lucky enough to be made a co-mod of Team Maggie over at leverageland.  We have all new teams for this heist, so it's going to be super fun!  I can't wait for it to start.
