Today I went to my public health Psychiatric appointment. I booked this back in August, so you can get an idea of how things are with the system here.
I've already placed my order for SN and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I was kinda hopeful when I booked the appointment, not quite right now. Still, I figured I'd go because I can file it as paid absence from work.
The psychiatrist was pretty impersonal I'd say. Not rude or anything, just very as-a-matter-of-fact; he did ask weird stuff like "So why haven't you (actively) tried to kill yourself these past days?" and "why don't you like being alive?". I expected him to just prescribe the same stuff my psychiatrist did and, in a way, he did. He prescribed me fluoxetine (only because the health system doesn't have escitalopram), but then, he asked me how well I sleep. I said that I usually get around 6 hours of sleep, sometimes more sometimes less. And so, he prescribed "3 droplets of risperidone every 24 hours".
So yeah... now I have that. I've been reading about it too, side effects and experiences and it sound like a pretty shit drug.
But maybe it's fate, hey?
Has anyone been on it?
