Changing meds

[Criada]

My doc has decided that the meds I have been taking aren't effective any more, so I'm reducing the dose before starting on a new one.
This week I have been on a half dose, and barely managing to hold it together.
After the weekend I go down to a quarter, then nothing, then start on the new meds which will probably take a couple of weeks to kick in.
I'm scared... this week has been hard, and next week could be worse. The urge to cut is overwhelming right now... please pray that I'll be able to trust God to get me through the next couple of weeks.
Thanks.

I and the entire team will be praying for and with you Criada dear. I remember the contributions you have given to CF and will always be here for you.

Oh boy. I don't understand some docs. Mine never completely took me off one, before starting the new one. I will definitely pray for you dear sister.

 

[Criada]

Thanks.
I know god will get me through, and there is a reason for all this... it's just so wearying at the moment having to fight thoughts i don't want all the time.
But... God is in control, and I'll get there.

no problems.
Call out, reach out, and believe that He will answer - and He will, i promise you that.

And just remember one verse: Phillipians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Bless ya heaps Criada

Hey, how is it going with the meds change?

 

[Criada]

Not great right now.. been on a half dose this week, and struggling with continual suicidal thoughts. I'm taking a half dose every other day for the next five days, then two days of nothing and then starting the new meds next Saturday. I know God is in charge, and His grace is sufficient, I just need to hang on to that and fight the thoughts.
Thank you all for praying.. please keep doing so. I need it at the moment.

Still hanging in.. started the new meds today, so far the only effect is nausea. It will be a couple of weeks before they really start to have any effect... your prayers are appreciated. I am still fighting the desire to throw myself under a car or something, but trying to trust God to keep me safe and get me through this.

17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,

18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Savior
(Habakkuk 3)

You're doing well Criada - so awesome that you are still hanging on. Just trust in God - because He will never give you anything more than you can handle.
