Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 Cecilia, When you were talking about the trial and error period of assessing the efficacy of different antidepressants, it made me remember the number of different medications I tried before finding one that seemed to " work. " When you shared the two perspectives of making that decision, I laughed when you said, " I am very happy with using Celexa. I could not live without it or rather others could not live with me... " This situation actually does happen to me when it come to either pain medications or insulin. When I am in pain, I have been known to get grumpy. Additionally, one of my early signs of hypoglycemia is irritability. Usually, however, I am not the one who initially recognizes these behavioral changes. Now, where I should probably be grateful that there is somebody who identifies these symptoms before I pass out from low blood sugar or lose the opportunity to 'manage' my pain versus 'chase' it, I often find myself snapping back a resentful " I am not fuzzy " :-) or " Fine, I will check my blood sugar " , then go eat crow as I reach for the fast acting glucose or get something for the pain. Anyway, now I am rambling, but it's just another example of the insanity of this disease. God love our family, friends, caregivers, and advocates. Blessings. Karyn E. , RN Exec.
