going to the Psychiatrist tomorrow and i was wondering what i might be prescribed. i have depression and anxiety. I've tried Zoloft and Lexepro already( yuk ssri's ) i wanted to ask for something new ,what do you think?
i guess i could hope for a benzo, but there only for anxiety aren't they celexa is an ssri isn't it, i hate ssri's with an absolute passion.( plus i like being able to trip XD )
I've tried Prozac and it's fucking horrible. I got basically every single side effect possible I think, stayed up for three days straight writing random nonsense in notebooks. I went into "hypomania" or something, basically wired to the gills and I felt like I was going to explode. Sure, it's not depression, but the other end of the spectrum isn't that fun. I've been on the laundry list of SSRI's, well enough that I know that I do not like them. I've been on let's see, lexapro (made me feel like a zombie--yay no depression but hey no other feelings), effexor (turned me into a hateful person, which I am not), cymbalta (I just didn't feel right), Prozac (bad).... perhaps you could tell your doctor you're really not comfortable with SSRI's. And: anxiety often breeds depression, at least in my experience. Because if you're have panic attacks in any "public" situation, you turn into a hermit and then of course you're depressed because there's no one to talk to. I think your and my situations are similar actually. SSRI's just make me feel ick.
sure... im not a doctor, but do play one on the internet.. you cant have depression and anxiety in the same visit..youre either one or the other, as a doctor im no fool to drug seekers in my internet office.. Since this is obviously a waste of my time and i have to wait to get my money from social services because you lack insurance. Here is a script of nothing, and when you begin to participate in therapy I might reconsider giving you some xanax, til then, youll find no joy here.. :coffee:
I had taken them a few times, Once I was smoking some dmt and closed my eyes, I saw rolleyes... a slot machine with frogs, each frog had was twirling something, the panels would flip and stop individually, and there was the frogs.. Frogs played weird roles in some my dmt trips. Once on my bd, my gf came over and when she was leaving, I thought cool now I can do a hit.. I took a blast and there was this big frog on the floor, it then exploded in paint that scattered on the walls in neon colors that said "happy birthday, signed Stevie Ray Vaughan".. I looked outside again to see my gf, but she was gone..
What are you paranoid or something. depression is often accompanied by anxiety and fyi i think I'm gonna do well with the scripts i was given. Yah i hear what your saying ssri side effects are usually horrible for me, but so far on prozac I've had almost no affects that i normally do on ssri's. it is allitle strange, but works very well.
fyi, you could get the same results in a heath food store, getting yourself on a sleep schedule, eating a proper diet, getting some exercise, time management, therapy, understanding your environment and whats effecting your behaviors that make you depressed or anxious.. (sorry they cant manifest together.. try again. your either on or off. Like a switch!.. you just cant handle either in extremes like the rest of us lol, normal people.. g-d forbid your fight or fight mechanism need to kick in, youll be frozen in the headlight.. prozac is a fluorinated medication, as said in my first relpy, Frontal lobotomy.. Am I paranoid? yeps, cause I never know when the zombies are gonna take over.. :coffee:
