      From rubyblue November 9

      no chance of changing to anyone else? can you talk to your doc and let them know how you are feeling and that you need something to change? its unbearable at times I know.... I also know you have the strength to get through this... am sorry its impacting so much on your family.. don't forget they love you and want whats best for you too

      enjoy your food and hopefully catch up with you later x

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Treatments

      Ativan Somewhat Helpful
      Used for quite awhile. Still have some for emergencies but discontinued it regularly after taking an overdose with it and other meds last November.
      Depakote Working / Worked
      Immediate change. It helps but makes me tired all the time with my other meds.
      Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Some help
      Group Therapy Considering
      Do you mean the nice room where they had us draw pretty pictures, fingerpaint and make nice birdhouses? Some days I think that might be a good idea again... :)
      Haldol Not Working
      Helpful only in turning me into a compliant zombie when I was held in the hospital against my will. I really hate this stuff. Took away my ability to think or act.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      On a fairly large dose. Really helps most of the time but I am really tired most oif the time, too. Very hard to wake up and weight gain would be the drawbacks, I think.
    • Close Anxiety

      I was diagnosed with Anxiety Three years ago. I am trying to live with it and the many adjustments I need to make because of the it and meds. I would like to learn, make friends and help others.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      Used for quite awhile. Still have some for emergencies but discontinued it regularly after taking an overdose with it and other meds last November.
      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      Very, very helpful when I learned to give it a chance..has helped me stave off many panic attacks.
      Paxil Not Working
      Did not help me much...made me very manic. Withdrawal was horrid.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Shiny happy people holding hands. Well...this just does not work for me. Believe me, I have tried.
    • Open Panic Attacks

      I started to get sick about three to four years ago and this is how it started. Multiple attacks that were alarming, horrid, vicious events. I thought I was going to die, I thought I was crazy, I could not function, let alone work anymore. Things are better now most of the time as I learn to live with it. I hope to make friends and help others.

      Effexor Working / Worked
      Works very well. Not good to miss a dose, though and I would not care to think about what withdrawal is like.
      Meditation Not Working
      I've tried this. Just does not work for me.
      Patience Not Working
      What??????
      Paxil Not Working
      Took this for awhile. Made me very manic. Stopped it after overdosing on it and other meds last November.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Shiny happy people holding hands...well....no, that does not work for me...I have tried...
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      On a fairly large dose. Really helps most of the time but I am really tired most of the time, too. Very hard to wake up and weight gain would be the drawbacks, I think.
