So last night I had a bad night. Had two bad dreams one after the other and at 6:11 in the morning I couldn't go back to sleep at that time the paranoia set in and I just started freaking out and had major chest pains. It is a necessity that the pdoc give me something for anxieties besides vistaril. I keep begging her but she keeps insisting that the Vistaril should still work. She's not in my body what the fuck does she know about me. I desperately need a new doc but I am afraid that if I get one I still won't have any access to any of the benzo's that everyone else has because besides pill pushers the only person I have left to see is another psych nurse and She will probably do the same thing that my current psych nurse does. I just don't feel real well. Good thing I have a pdoc appointment at 10:30 today....maybe I can beg her again to help me. Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. And the paranoia just doesn't know when to quit maybe my anti psychotic needs raised again.

Vistaril didn't work for me either. All it is is a strong Antihisamine. I would urge her that you know your body more than anyone else and you know when something isn't working. Tell her the panic attacks keep coming more frequently. Maybe she will listen. Best of luck to you sweetie. xoxo

update: pdoc won't give me anything else but the vistaril but now I get to take more than three if the anxiety doesn't let up. Every time I freak out I get to take two of them at a time. I hope this works.....I don't really get anxious as often as I used to but the bad dreams and paranoia are a frequent thing and she just won't raise my anti psychotic.

sorry your feeling paranoid, I can relate its a horrible feeling, the lack of sleep is probably contributing to it, at least it happens that way for me. Try to calmly talk to your pdoc. Tell her you really feel a change is needed. Tell her your feeling paranoid. Hope things level out for you today.

    If the work issues were not enough, I have so many health issues. It looks like I may have a heart problem. I'm scheduled to go in the operating room at the end of the month to determine once and for all if I have what is called a PFO-a small hole in the heart that you are born with that causes blood clots to pass through the left and right atria, and go up to the brain. They think this is what...
