New medicine - Pristiq 50mg

This morning, went to see Dr Lee. Brought up to her about Sertraline 100mg which is making me more agitated, anxious, sweaty palms, body temperature rise, proposed to her to be back on fluoxetine. However, Dr Lee suggested on new medication Pristiq - Desvenlafaxin 50mg which is trial sample expiring 15 Jul 11.


I recalled back what she mentioned that this Pristiq is not available in SGH, may have to get it elsewhere. Hmm...What can I do since I've yet to land on a part-time job? I've called up SGH medical social worker Florence & she advised that to monitor if the medicine works for me 1st.

There's even a recent outstanding bill of >$300 after deducting medisave for hospitalisation.

Dr Lee mentioned about signing 'CONTRACT' with me. Very SURPRISED by her proposal, asked Dr Lee "You wanna signed contract with me?" She laughs...& yes indeed. Since I can cope when I felt like slitting my wrist & suicidal thoughts were very strong. I stayed at home as I told Dr Lee, I rather tied myself up then go IMH. Dr Lee said, even if I go to A&E, she's wont admit me since it's like 'comfy' for us & she will refer me to IMH. I told her I don't wanna go IMH!! Who wish to be be warded on a psychiatry ward.

Anway, IMH's subsidized & private wards are filled. As my depressed friend brought up when she admit herself at IMH A&E when Dr Lee thought I was the one who went there.

NAH!!! Not in my life, I will goto IMH!!
