Incompetent?

I called the OB-Gyn today to say that I'm still feeling this dizziness - haziness sensation and I wanted to know if it was normal. The nurse called back to say that the dizziness was probably unrelated to the medication. I most likely had an inner ear problem and to call the general practitioner. I did and they managed to get me in this afternoon. They checked my blood pressure- sitting, standing, lying down etc. to see if there was any difference. There wasn't. Nothing made the symptoms worse or better, just constant throbbing dizziness. The doctor asked about the medication I was on. I told him how the doctor had switched me from Lexapro to Wellbutrin. He asked if I was tapered off the Lexapro and I said no. I have never seen a doctor become visually ANGRY before! He was so mad that my doctor had me stop the meds that way. "You can't go off that class of medication cold turkey!" He asked who my doctor was and the name of the practice.

SO in short- I've been going through major drug withdrawel... go figure! The doctor thinks the initial "fuzziness" I was feeling was that after I weaned my daughter, 20mg was just too much- that is why I was feeling extra tired, I was just being OVER-medicated. The solution should have been to return me to the 10mg dose, which is now what I'm doing. I'm taking 10mg of the Lexapro- stopping the Wellbutrin and going back in a week to see if its better. The doc thinks I should be in a couple days.

I'm very glad that this may fix the problem but I'm angry that the OB was able to prescribe a medication he doesn't know that much about. I think I'm in the market for a new doctor. I had issues when I was pregnant- I felt ignored by the office. I called them when I was 8 months pregnant and said "So... what am I supposed to do when I go into labor?" They said "Oh you didn't get that paper?" so I wasn't too thrilled with that part of the experience either. I also had the Mirena IUD put in and the first one fell down too low so I had to get another one. I had to insist on an ultrasound to make sure the 2nd one was in place. Might I also add that the first one caused 8 months of unnecessary cramping? So with this last thing, I think I'm going to try to find another doctor.

Hope things start to feel better in the next couple days. I've got Emily (my sis-in-law)'s baby shower on Saturday and I'd be much more on my game if the room wasn't spinning :)
