Doctor wont take me off these pills?

Question

Ok so my physiatrist put me on Zoloft and it was giving me the shakes really bad. So about a month of being on that she switched me to Wellbutrin. Well now that I have been on that for about 2 and a half weeks im even more screwed up. My body shakes non-stop all day and its really bad to the point where I can not really hold anything or write. And I feel high 24-7. its bad I feel dizzy and im having bad thoughts about life.

Well I talked to my physiatrist and all she said was eat before taking it. What the heck! She sees me for like 5 min every appointment I go to. My parents don’t pay over 400 dollars just for a 5 min visit and whatever. All she does is ask me little questions and check my weight. even the first time I had ever seen her she got like 5 min of family history and then talked to my mom for like 3 min and then gave me Zoloft and trazodon. Im just fed up! I just don’t know what to do. And she wont take me off them!

Answer 1

Sounds like you got a horrible psychiatrist...Anyways u don't need the ******ing pills just don't take them.Trust me drugs just blind you, so F_-U#k her! don't take them

Answer 2

Firstly, your doctor is right that eating several small meals a day will help somewhat. However, if she is not spending enough time to really hear what you are saying and you do not feel that you can relate to her well, ask your parents to change doctors.

Answer 3

Stop taking them yourself . Shes not forcing them down your throat shes just giving you the prescription.

Find a new doctor  !   DUH !

Answer 4

First of all, don't just stop taking the medicines without consulting your doctor, sometimes that can mess you up worse.  Second, do make sure you are eating well and taking it with food.  Last, find a new psychiatrist, shop around if you have to until you find someone who listens and makes you comfortable.  Your health is too important!

Answer 5

Were you suicidal? If so take it very seriously.

If you were just a typical depressed teen you shouldn't be on them anyway (but be very careful - clinically depressed people are extremely terrible at admitting they have a problem so be REALLY honest with yourself!)

However, my wife cuts her zoloft pills in half (1/2 half a day) and they work great for her!

Medicine always has a cookie cutter approach to everybody, and they are probably giving you the same dose as for a 240 pounds lumberjack!

Best luck and email me if you want.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Tell this to your mom and find a new doctor. You can't just stop taking this medicine. Get an emergency appointment with a new doctor.

Answer 8

Find another Doctor. I hate being treated like that.  When they just seem like they are in a big rush. can not stand that.
