I have a phenomenon which is not very clearly defined in DSM definition (in my opinion, at least). Many times, when I get small cues that something is going to go wrong, I start thinking and thinking about it, building hills of theories from small cues. My therapist calls it “negative thinking loops”. I can’t find a good definition in the DSM-IV. It is not paranoid, since when I am shown the real facts I do resign my theories. However, I do believe that drugs for paranoid ideation will help me, though.
I also suffer from social phobia. I have tried SSRIs,MAOI,benzodiazepins, all other possible Ads with little success in any of my problems. Benzos do help my anxiety, but this “negative thinking” persists.
Sulpiride did seem to help me with this problem, but my liver functions got so bad that I can’t afford to use it. Also, I fear from Tardive Diskinesia.
Anybody has any idea about a good, close diagnosis ? and what about a drug treatment ? Antipsychotics ? Anything else ?
Thanks,
Jimmy
