So I had my doctors appointment today and it went OK. With typical over stretched NHS care I had about 3 minutes with the doctor after having not seen her for about a year. I sold the positive benefits of my meds in about 1 minute, she said "Oh yes you requested these yourself didn't you?" Making me wonder if she thinks it is some sort of placebo effect? It so isn't, the difference between these and the other antidepressants I've tried is vast. There is a reason for this, it is a different type of drug acting on two neurotransmitters rather than one and by a mechanism that is different (but not understood) than other similar drugs.
She took my blood pressure, it was very high. She asked if I was nervous, ohh yes. She took it again and it was normal. A unique ability to normalise my blood pressure with the power of thought?
The verdict was because I have had multiple bouts of depression I can take these meds for 2 years before they consider stopping them or reducing the dose to see what happens. My choice would be to just keep taking them as long as they work but we can have that discussion next year.

well....that's good. That was the outcome you had wanted, right?
Totally what I wanted Miss M, I'm very pleased!
...and next year you change doctors and hope your records get lost so you can continue for another two years? It's unfortunate that the system puts you in the position of having to beg to maintain your health.
