Lately, I’ve felt like Persephone, caught in the underworld of darkness, but no more. It’s time to dust myself off and embrace the light surrounding me.
About a month ago my primary care physician decided to wean me off my anti-depressant medication, Wellbutrin. I had read several articles about Wellbutrin being associated with Parkinson-like symptoms and a slew of other neurological issues and I posed the question to him, ‘Could Wellbutrin be the cause of my mysterious neurological issues?’ This is the same question I presented to the eight, yes, eight neurologists who examined me over the past year. The eight, yes, eight, neurologists poo-pooed me and told me to go see a psychiatrist. Thankfully, my primary doctor took action because (drum roll, please) my symptoms are gone!!! Here, see for yourself.
I’m happy to write that I’m on day five of my CBD treatment and I’m…wait for it…it’s almost here…any second now… TaDa! I’m not depressed.
It’s happy dance time. Come on Persephone, let’s boogie.
Happy first day of spring!
Blessed be :}
It is SO frustrating when our doctors don’t take us seriously. We are told to “listen to our bodies” but they don’t want to hear it. I’m so glad your primary listened–he/she is a keeper.
I’ve been on antidepressants for a long time too. Tried weaning off but when I broke down in tears in the middle of a freaking HOCKEY game, I knew I had to go back.
