Hi! I'm new & I'll try to make this short,but I need HELP Desperately. I'm a 33yr old Mother of 5 little children under 10. I got hit by a car in 2001 and 9 months later they found out I had some sort of Partial complex Brain Seizure Disorder. I don't recall a lot of things and I can't cook anymore. I also don't like many of the foods and drinks I used to which is weird! I'm a Mom who loved to cook. Now I vomit if I smell food or see it the majority of the time. To be honest we really still don't know what the deal is, except I am NOTHING like I was before. Anyway They put me on Effexor xr (which helped a lot) I still get Brain Snaps & a few mild side effects,but nothing like if I try to take myself off the medicine.
I'm Currently on:
Effexor XR (375mg/day) - Started about 2½ years ago
Seroquel (100mg/day) - Started about 1 year ago
Topamax (125mg/day) - Started about 3 months ago
Neurontin (400mg/day) - Started about 6 months ago
Have tried:
Paxil, Klonopin, Xanax, Risperdal, Trileptal,
Embarrassingly I am also pulling my hair out & I have even caught myself doing this when I sleep.
I am having some break through Panic attacks, but I am trying to deal with those. I took xanax and had no problem with that. It didn't make me groggy or anything weird. Now I wish I were back on it and maybe totally off Nuerontin. I just don't know.. Who can help me figure this out?
Can someone Help me Please? Is it a combination of medicines I am taking or just one of the pills? Has any one had any of these symptons or feelings? I just can't live this way anymore.
It is killing me. I used to go out of my house and Now I barely will. My children and husband miss me. I miss me. Thanks for your Time!
