Mirapex 1 week in
Mar 24th
Well I’m now a week in to taking the Mirapex and things have changed dramatically for the better. I’m feeling good, and best of all I’m back at work. I had no idea that things would change so rapidly, but I’m certainly not going to complain. I had a good appointment with my therapist today, and enjoyed my second day back in the office. I’m looking forward to seeing if things continue to improve now that I have reached the target dose of the Mirapex. TT
The story so far
Mar 20th
I’m back again with more talk about my depression situation. For those of you that don’t know me ( or don’t know me that well ) I have drug resistant major depression with anhedonia and anxiety. What that means is that if I’m not on medication that’s working for me, I worry about anything and everything, can’t enjoy even my favorite activities, and at the low points I’m nearly suicidal.

I’m getting pretty tired of not having anything to do except lay around and wait to see if the newest cocktail of meds is going to work. Luckily my family has been very supportive through this whole mess, and that has helped a lot. I don’t get to see my More >
Anhedonia
Jan 17th
The reason I didn’t have much fun while I was in Cleveland is because I have severe depression which causes anhedonia ( the inability to enjoy things that should be enjoyable ), anxiety ( the closing of the Cleveland airport on Sunday really helped with that ), a complete lack of energy, and a few other “fun” problems. Even before I booked the trip I knew that my balance of meds was slipping. For some reason I thought that trekking out there and seeing my friends would somehow break how I was feeling and let me have some fun. Unfortunately More >
Nothing much new
Oct 5th
I haven’t had much to post about lately. I still don’t know what I’m going to do about my wrist. ( The choices are live with the pain and instability, or have it fused straight. ) My pdoc and I are still working to find a cocktail of meds that will keep my depression at bay. ( I’m in a better place than a was a few weeks ago. ) And finally, I just don’t understand why my sister is stuck on names that start with K for her new baby. ( That must be something I wasn’t meant to More >
