1. My depression is very much agitated and mixed.
Ocasionally I get sad but not too often. They are toying with the idea of bipolar disoder but I have so few of the classic symptoms. The reason I behave the way I do I that often I am almost in a constant state of panic.2. The anxiety is what makes me feel suicidal. It is the constant feeling of pushing, like I can't let go, can't stop or something will happen. Constant fight or flight.
3. I don't really know. Most of the time the only relief I can get is in the thought of suicide. Last time I went to the hospital, I had to weight 12 hours in the emergency room. Most of the antidepressants seem to push me not calm me down. I have found relief in benzodiazapines, but no doctor will presribe them.
4. My aytpical symptoms are mood swings. Never high, but I can go from feeling normal - laughing with friends to on the verge of suicide within a few hours. Doctors don't understand that.
5. Just started effexor, at 75 mg now. Have taken Celexa, Paxil, REmeron, Lithium, Depakote, zyprexa, seroquel, risperdal, sinqeuan, klonaz, loraz, bromaz, temaz, ritalin, dexedrine, tegrotol, ....list goes on.
6. I'm not sure. I would be in heaven If I could find a docotor that would prescribe me benzos and opiates, what a combination for an anxiety ridden suicidal ??. I think somewhere along the line my HPA axis got terrible disregulated and shrunk my hippocampas down to the size of a pea.
