I've just gotten up and find my vision blurry to the point can hardly read the screen. This is basically making me frantic with worry. I'ver been emotionally traumatized daily for weeks as each day something is wrong. Thyroid off cortisol off medical tests, new pdoc don't like, supposed to go to Florida for a week and no sitter for cat no money and then pack and drive two pups. And stay at Daughter's who when there last started a horrible fight and had to leave next day. On top of that husband isn't supportive one minute nice and then screaming. He claims he can't afford to feed me that I should be paying for taxes and all this stuff. I get but $800 after paying insurances in SSRI so I pay for all things for me and dogs. He has me pay him back if I buy even a small item. He now wants to buy a Mercedes 20 years old been sitting in a garage no driver or battery and park it in our driveway and try to sell it and make money. Kind of last straw for my emotional health. As homeowners won't allow this and it's eating at me to the point I've said can I pay you to not cause more stress his answer is dont keep me from doing what I want. He said If I try to he will divorce me as he's young and I'm old and he has a life to live. The inside of this 5 year old home is strewn with stuff for sale and I'm not allowed to move a thing. Even bathtubs filled with stuff. I dont know what to do paralzed with fear. Today I woke and eyes so blurry can hardly see this screen. Not that you can do a thing and how could a med work being in chaos he claims I create. Thanks Phillipa

phillipa, when I get severely stressed,my eye sight gets blurry too.But I usually dont wake up w/blurriness.It happens if something bad occurs,like getting pulled over for a speeding ticket.Usually,my heart is pounding as well.You sound very stressed out.I also have a younger husband.We had times of screaming,he's bought things I dont like too, but we got better as the yrs passed.We have a great relationship now.Is there any family member you can visit by yourself?Someone that will care for you and help you settle down? I am thinking of you and wish peace for you

Gadchik thanks I am stressed out no place to go. I paid him off $500 to not get the car now got to deal with new pdoc and then try and decide if I can handle all my kids in Florida for a week. If only the benzos worked I'd be fine. But the low cortisol and high TSH has me also worried. Phillipa

Gadchik decision make by the new pdoc no Florida he said too stressful. Now if the family doesn't defriend me on facebook all okay. I wrote Oldest Daughter. The new Pdoc gave me a diagnosis of Ocd which I knew. Said anxiety driven. And that those with ocd don't get addicted to meds as they fear them so so no changes in meds. And also ocd thinks dying all the time. I got him to giggle and smile when I asked if I was crazy as husband says I am. He said tell him you have Ocd. Also said ocd people don't go crazy but if I do he will have me hauled off by the paramedics. Phillipa

phillipa, I think its best that you dont go to florida.What meds are you on? Luvox and Valium? Luvox is good for ocd isnt it? But in high doses? Did pdoc increase that one?I think Im taking .75mg klonopin tonight instead of .5mg,my pdoc told me that I have some ocd w/my gad, but mild.I was prescribed Luvox one time,as usual,I was afraid to take it.I hope you can get thru this w/o being hauled off by the paramedics.Before I got well,I often thought of walking into er and stating,Im crazy,take me and make me sane.Wish it were that easy.

Oh I know best if don't go. Hauling two dogs leaving a cat home alone, trying to do our ebay business at the busiest time of the buying season. Can't ship goods from there if the goods are in Nc. And then babysitting her dogs one old and sick and one a puppy. I could go on and on but won't yes at one time when luvox was still Solvay took brand name at 250mg felt great and was taking ativan with it. I wonder about the time release luvox? It's namebrand might work better what do you feel? Phillipa

Same here and seriously one time someone gave me brand klonopin and it was fine where once it caused me to feel suicidal. Is brand that expensive? Probably as I think brand valium is about $200. Phillipa
