I think I finally figured out what's wrong with me.
I think I have combination of problems that no one was
aware of. I was treated for depression for years with
Prozac then a combination of Prozac and Effexor XR.
At first the results were ok, then they started to
taper of and the side effects become too much to handle.I've been of meds. for two months now and I'm starting
to loose control!!!On top of the "normal" depression symptoms I'm experiencing
compulsive/obsessive behaviors and I feel like every one
(especially my roommate) are out to get me. Now that I think
about, I've experienced these feelings before when I wasn't
on any medicines. And they became worse as time progressed.It is possible that I was misdiagnosed and I not only have
depression, but also a paranoid personality disorder and a
compulsive/obsessive disorder? I think my mom and grandmother
have it (isn't it hereditary?)I know Prozac is suppose to work for comp/obs, it helped me
with my preoccupation with food, but what works for paranoia?What do I do? I don't want to have to be on medications for the rest
of my life.
How do I find out if I do have all these problems?Please help,
Ania
