Drugs!

Well, I took a visit to my psychiatrist last night, and after describing my symptoms, thoughts, feelings, and so on, my doctor prescribed me Cymbalta (It's apparently fairly new because I've never heard of it). He said the side effects were "minimal to non-existent." For example, apparently side effects in Paxil, such as sleep and sexual side effects like I was having, affected 25-30% of those taking it. Cymbalta affects 1-5%, according to the doctor.

I haven't started taking it yet, and I was going to wait until after Christmas to do so, as I don't wanna be nauseous or anything during the holiday. I'm nervous about taking it, to be honest, but if it helps, it helps. We'll see what happens once I start taking it.

mental health, drugs
