a drug history for myself. I thought back and tried to remember all the drugs I've taken for anxiety and depression over the last 13 years and it's scary. I have tried 14 different meds and none of them have worked longterm. I've tried SSRI's, MAOI's, TCA's and numerous anxiolytics. I took Manerix for 3 years and it helped but when i retried it last winter, it didn't work at all. Not to mention it costs an arm and a leg. Should I try it again or what?
I still take clonazepam for panic attacks but my doc won't refill the scrip because she says it's too addictive(the most I have taken on any given day is 2 mgs for god's sake--does that sound like I am in danger of abusing it?, geezzzz)
I'm just wondering what's next? My depression starts as anxiety and then when I start feeling like I can't leave my house because of panic I get depressed. My friends think I'm antisocial and bitchy and stop calling me to go out because they know I'll say no.Is there something out there that helps with anxiety-induced depression? I know the depression is peripheral and the constant fear causes it, so what do I do?
Would another kind of MAOI be worthwhile here? Nardil, Parnate etc?
I just feel so defeated and confused.
Please let me have your honest opinions
thanks
Tina
