Posted by scambledeggs on December 21, 2003, at 7:28:27

Hello everyone new here but a victim of as my mom called it "nerves" and friends called me the 'funny crazy one" co - workers "where do you get your engery?" ( when i use to work)I am 47 year old female still trying to find out whats wroung with me you name it i have been told i had it.NOW i am starting stratera against my dr. asst. view she knows nothing about me nor dose he he is a md. and more or less a sript dr. i have been going to him for about 4 years on and off i use to live in ny. now i am in fl, and there isnt much mental health here if you dotn have money. i have medipass and he took it up till 2 years ago and i had to swich to a clinic, was that a nightmare.i started going back to him and my sister has been paying for the visits and medipass pays the meds. but he has no idea what is wroung with me only by what i tell him .now this is the problem as of the last few months i lost a sister to cancer last nov 2002 and last month i lost my brither also nov 6th both i was at there side. SO THIS YEARS DEPRISION is blammed on the losses in my life, but i can get depp. for no reason, but now thati think i allways feel guilty cause i say i am going to do things and thats as far as it gets back in july i had a few good days on and off and started paintig hangin borderm every room was started now,,, it all sits. the dr, uped my paxil back in spet, from 25 to 50mg and i feel worse, pluse he is allways tring to take the kolonpin away, i have been tkaing it foe years!!!!!!!and i tell him i cant go with out it my mind is allways racing, i have allways been hyper creative but cant finish things, and allways talkive but ,,, i do have my bed days where ican stay in the same cloths for days andeat and sleep and cry, WHEN I SEEN THE COMERCIAL FOR STRETERA I SAID "OH MY GOD THATS ME!I allways had a problem focusing and everything else on the 3 -4 surveys i took. now this dr. asst. called amy said i am going to give you this but i dont think its what you need. daaaaaaaaaaa? she said to go from 50mg. of paxil i am on to 25mg for a week then 12,5 mg for a week stop one day and start stratrera 40 mgd 3 days and 80 mgs after that,i dont think she knows what the hell she is talking about . this was last friday the 19th i took only 25 mgs of paxil that day and yest, i took 40 mg of stertta. plus my normal 1mg, 3 x a day of kolopin. plus remeron i suppose to take at night 15 mg.i know i shouoldnt play dr, but she isnt one either, and i just wnat to feel beter ny thought race and my house is one big project! 1/2 satred in every room. how i made it to 11th grade in school i will never know i can only add and subrtact. and that is far from the right anserws,i was allways in trouble and put in the hall as a kid for talking dancing on desks etc... but i guess in those days the just pussed you ahead, ihad a choice in 11th grade "quit or ge thrown out so i qiut" it so hard to exspalin all of this. but i do know i have depresion but isnt it possible to have adhd also? and what about mixing paxil w/ straterra? SHOULD I STIL TAKE A SMALL DOSE OF PAXIL ?if anyone has any answrs please email me thanks jeanette
