Hi bb.

I'm really sorry the new meds aren't helping. May I ask if you've talked to your doctor about it ? Maybe it will take more time to get into your system ( I don't know what types of meds or how long you've been on them, so that may not be a factor ).

Hi Barry, Am I correct when I say I think you have only been on the new med for a week? Some meds take up to 3 weeks to build up in your system before you feel better.

Please don't give up the new med. Did the doc say how long it should be until you feel better?

I know how you feel.
My doctor went AWOL ( absent without leave) on me....so I am stuck.
His nurse said he had been disappearing for days. And that I needed to find a new doctor. Lovely...
So I had to fall back on my old meds I had left.

When I started on meds, it took 6 weeks for them to work.

Yea to what orsa said..if they don't work after 6 weeks....than request a different kind. It took me so many years to find the right one...since you and I have something in common...if you haven't tried Celexa yet....ask for that next...it took me 10 years to find it.

It works quickly...takes away anxiety, panic, impatience....its weird that it really WORKS...I never believed ANY would work.

Hugs

Feeling pretty good today.

Great...what is different? Can you pinpoint it?

I wasn't able to pinpoint everything....but I remember shortly after taking my medication for about 5 days...sitting in traffic "calm".

THAT never happened before...my normal traffic mood is...heart racing...anger at the red lights...anger at the person in front of me if they don't immediately DART when light turns green...and swearing...

I realized that day I was "calm"...and thought WOW this is different...maybe medication does work.

Then one time my boyfriend said something...that I would usually snap at...and it rolled off....

I never before believed medicine could do anything but give me side affects.

What have you noticed? Do you know?

Glad you are feeling better.

Missy2 You are right I did feel calm today. I was in a crowd of people milling around me and that would usually make me crazy with anger but not tonight. I would drive miles around to keep away from city streets and the lights. Was in heavy traffic and even got lost and remained okay.I have got out of the car and even punched a guys car hood because he blew his horn at me. When manic I could go from too happy into an insane rage in a blink. A crowded store was terrible!
But been calm all day today. Too early to say I am better though.
