HI, not sure if u been following me but i really need your help and advice..
Ok here is a short bit about me... i am 23 female overweight.. can not take ssri's cus they cause my hrt rate to go up and my blood preasure to go up (ended up in hospital) Can not take trylics cus they give me panick reactions.. DO not want to try an maoi as i would be to panicky cus i eat alot of meat and cheese with the aktins diet...
I am currently taking 30mg remeron been on it for a year with no probs, he also gave me proponol to take as an as needed basis(makes me obsess about my breathing).. anyways my doctor is out of options for me he wanted me to wait to see the physciatrist ( yr later) i seen her yesterday but she gave me fluanxol said to take it as needed.. side affects are bad , says if u get a raised hrt rate stop immediatly... (i suffer with this anyways)
My symptoms are as follows:
I am very anxious, nervous, timid, some times depressed, bad panick attacks, can get manic eppisodes(not bad just a high feelin, anxious i suppose) and i obsess alot about my health the littlest symptom, lately
i been obsessing about my hrt rate, my chest and my hrt basiclly..
Doctor wont give me no benzo's cus they do not give them out anymore cus of the addiction and cns depressant in them (lots of ppl commiting suicide on them)I am open minded to try herbals if there are any one here with experience ( i am in wales uk)... i want to give st johns wort a go but can i take it with my remeron? and will it cause my hrt rate to increase ( always happens to me) is it an ssri? is it safe? What else could i try i am desperate...
I wont be seeing the physciatrist again she refering me to mind ( a group which helps house bound ppl, takes us out for cups of tea in a cafe etc)
SO thats it.. help plse...
Thanks
Regards
Donnap.s.. i am in the uk, no point going to another doctor cus they wont deal with me only my doctor will. I am sure if someone said to try something then i would ask him for it he may give it to me..
