I have been taking fetzima for a couple weeks now. I am up to 80mg and I have noticed that I have been very irritable and still depressed. I also have been experiencing painful ejaculation and hesitation for a few minutes before I can urinate. I also take Ritalin twice a day and 6mg of lorazepam at night. I have been more productive for the first few weeks and lost weight. I feel better about that but I am very stressed out. Ive taken so many antidepressants and sleep aids and other pills. I really can't tell what is helping and not and I'm afraid to change because the withdraws are always terrible. I am having a terrible time coping with the fibro and cfs. I have been on temporary disability for almost 6 months. I have an appointment with mayo clinic at the end of this month then I have to go back to work regardless of what happens there. I can't work like this and I will loose my job and health insurance. Then I don't know what I will do. Has anyone been through the fibro program at mayo? Did it help? It's so hard to want to continue to fight this when the relief outlook is so bad. There has got to be something that will help. The local doctors just won't do anything no matter how miserable i tell them I am. They just say I have to deal with it. Is all this really worth it? I feel like dropping everything and going off into the wilderness with a few tools and supplies and just seeing how far I make it. Sure would be a lot less stressful. I watched my mom suffer from cancer and die when I was 6 years old. I gave her shots and lifted her wheelchair out of the car for all of her doctors appointments. I don't want to suffer my whole life with this. I have an okay day every once in awhile but I normally have bad days and really really bad days. None of these antidepressants have made me less depressed. Some have made me just not care anymore, Some have made me angry all the time, Some have made me extremely paranoid, but none have made me feel happy. What a mess. Sorry for the long post I'm just frustrated.
