I am 27 years old, had my first "episode" in 2001 and have been taking meds since then. Not a very long time... I don't like self medicating, but it just seems that I know what works for me and what doesn't. I've tried all types of junk that made me feel worse. Prozac, Paxil, Wellbutrin, Buspar, Serzone, Risperdal, Nuerontin, Zoloft, Trazodone, Remeron, and now Lexapro with Lamictal. What I loved the most was Remeron and Serzone. Those 2 worked wonders but because of the weight gain, and the black box label warning they took me off Serzone. Remeron immediately zaps the anxiety away and gives me a great night of sleep. Too bad I gained all that weight =O
Last week, after seeing a doc and telling her over and over that Wellbultrin did absolutely nothing but induce panic attacks, she decides to write me a script for it. I was like oh lord, I give up. I walked out of there very disaapointed, as I wasted 6 hours of my life.
Ofcourse, when I get insurance the first thing I will do, even though I have a bad taste in my mouth for doctors these days, is see a psych and ask for an official diagnoses!!!! I do not believe I have panic disorder, haven't had a panic attack in years!!!! Possbily bipolar, but again... I cannot function on little sleep so that might be incorrect. I MUST HAVE 7-8 HRS OF SLEEP OR I FEEL LIKE DEATH. Literally!!!!!! BPD sounds about right but who knows. I doubt i am schizto, since I do not hear or see things (yet). what else is there, geez... i'm scared to even think of what i will be diagnosed with.
but i also look forward to being "diagnosed" so i can get the right treatment! as soon as i find out what's going on, i'll definately post on this board. i start my new job on the 7th, supposedly i have insurance on day one, but cannot miss any work for 90 days, so i dont know how i will be able to see a doc. ugh. one day at a time...............
