I have been on 15 mgs top for 6 days, then I went up to 30 last night. What was marginally tolerable is now unbearable. I can't take the anxiety on this medication. All I do is worry, worry, worry on this med and I can't sleep. I am so miserable. And my scalp/skin is so sore. I think I am just going to panic. I get so scared, I just start crying for no reason. Nothing has happened. I don't know why I am so anxious on this med. But I just don't think I can swallow another pill. What started as mild AD effects, has turned into massive anxiety and I am not prone to this panic type feeling.
I am so miserable because I don't really have anything good to replace it with. I hate all the mood stabilizers and just wish I could survive without one. I have no idea what to do now...
Depakote makes my hair fall out in bunches and Li makes me shake like a tree. Tegretol gives me awful GI stuff. But I have heard you folks says the XR is more tolerable?
Is there a way out of this medication hell?
I have been looking for the "right mix" for months...
Am I baling too soon???
