Yeah, I'm not planning to just stop taking them tomorrow. For a start I'd feel really ill by mid afternoon. Think I'm going to wait until I go back to uni to see GP since
-I hate the one I have here and
-might just be a random panic about uni.
I did have a lot going on last night, friend was texting me for advice on a triggery topic.
I'm going to change GP when I go back anyway so there shouldn't be the psychiatrist issue then since it's a different PCT and I'm not making a 400 mile round trip for every appointment. I worry with increasing it that I might feel worse (going from 30mg mirtazapine to 45 definitely made me worse) and it would take longer to taper off. I think the psychiatrist said if this lot didn't work they probably weren't going to suggest I try any others so don't know.
Yeah definitely not coming off them without GP help. I feel bad enough if I leave it an extra 6 hours. Last time I actually forgot to take a dose was horrible.
When I head back I think the uni is basically going to throw the mental health team at me. I've been told there will be mandatory meetings and I'll be referred to the counselling service. Plus all the pastoral care people in my college know what is going on. Failing that I intend to be brutally honest (not in a mean way just matter of fact) with the other medics in my year so they might notice if I start to be even quieter than normal. Plus I think if I talk about it openly it might encourage them to which is a good thing?
Thank you, I did the first load of washing for uni today. The rest is getting done on Monday.
