Was it just me that noticed or did anyone else see that in last night’s Eastenders (Monday) that Sean handed Jean, who suffers from Bipolar Disorder, a packet of 37.5mg Venlafaxine?
Possibly the worst ever antidepressant for Bipolar, but so distinctive in it’s beautiful yellow packaging (she says quite sarcastically).
The referral is through for the CMHT (with a little pushing from my Mum, and a weeny wobble over the weekend, involving too many zopiclone, temazepam, tramadol and co-codamol at my parent’s and a lovely night in hospital). Waiting for a joint appointment with a CPN, community psych, my GP and me (and possibly my Mum – although I feel a bit stupid dragging her along at 22 for moral support but I know I can’t fight my own battles for 9 times out of 10).
