MY HEALTH

As I stated in my previous blog entry I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks.  I take a medication which just RECENTLY allowed a generic to be made.  Unfortunately that generic does not work for me at all.  It actually left me WORSE than my original condition had!!! I have a journal which I kept citing all the symptons, tears, agonies, heartaches, etc. that I went through since that medication went generic last year. 

Lexapro generic IS NOT Lexapro NAMEBRAND.  Right now I'm fighting to get back my right to have LEXAPRO NAMEBRAND.  I only have enough medication until Friday.  Friday night if this situation is not fixed by then I will have taken my last pill that night.  The next night I will have to take Celexa generic.  Yes I know about transitioning medications.  I'm already doing it.  Celexa SUCKS! just as well.

This afternoon I took half dose of Celexa.  It left me VERY FLUSHED. I didn't feel better until I had a bowel movement.  I am taking to heart what my dear younger sister said to me tonight.  $150 is a worthwhile investment in myself for the namebrand medication. 

When I started this nightmare last year...NIGHTMARE!!!

When I started my nightmare through mental health last year I went through SEVERE SYMPTOMS.

1. FLUSHING
2. HEART PALPITATIONS
3. SUPER TACHY HEART RACING
4. TIGHTNESS OF CHEST
5. DIZZINESS
6. LIGHTHEADEDNESS
7. FEELING OF IMPENDING DOOM
8. EMOTIONAL IMBALANCE

I found myself not wanting to die but wishing for death just the same for all the PHYSICAL AILMENTS placed upon me by the generic lexapro!  I am still recuperating from those physical symptoms.  Now I have to deal with a countdown.

So, here goes.  As of today I have until Friday night to get my prescription in order with medi-cal and health net. I have four more pills left.
