Personality Disorders Support Group
Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behaviour. Personality disorders are seen by the American Psychiatric Association as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.
about to coworkers, etc.. I was very bothered by it and finally realized it was the abilify. Got off after about 1 month I wax back to normal... Thank u for your reply!
That's why I would advise against SSRI's, they have bad sideefects, and of cource the worst thing is the complete elimination of all emotions. Atypical antipsychotics like Seroquel which is sometimes prescribed off-label for depression are even worse. One psych doctor prescribed it to me once, but I quickly saw how it was working (in addition to killing emotions, I was a zombie with, it slowed my thinking process, I couldn't work), so I quickly stopped taking it.
Now I'm taking Wellbutrin XL 300 mg for depression and Klonopin 1mg 2 times a day for anxiety and it works very very well. Wellbutrin is an antidepressant, but not in the SSRI class and I don't have any negative experiences with it, only sometimes insomnia, because it is an upper. After years and years I finally feal alive again, rediscover old hobies which I never thought would interest me again, etc. Even making progress with relating with other people, like I started going coffee after work with my coworkers, which I never even considered before, and really enjoing it.
Unfortunately, I'm self medicating because no psych doctor would prescribe this to me, it was always only new types of SSRI's from them (Seroquel, Prozac, Zoloft, Fevarin, Effexor, etc), and they would never prescribe a benzo like Klonopin. Now I spend a load of cash for ONLY medicines that work for my conditions getting them off of black market, and I have a fully paid medical security - the only problem is I don't have a doctor prescribe this to me... Sorry for the long post.
I am on venlafaxine 300mg slow release it works wonders for me ,what I would advise you that you should talk to your doctors about what other medication you could take instead of what your on
