i see a psychiatrist, but i have never mentioned this particular problem because i thought i was just imagining things. i didn't know that so many people are having the same experience.
i am currently taking an anti-convulsive (Lamictil) as well as Concerta and Celexa. i firmly believe that in my case the music is drowning everything else out... i have terrible thoughts and visions of my family dying (or myself) or seeing a person walking down the street and imagining them falling in front of my car or forgetting one of my children at home... i guess the thoughts aren't necessarily about death all the time, but once my mind starts going i can't stop it. i suppose it has a lot to do with anxiety. does anyone else awfulize to the extent that i do? i don't hallucinate, but it's pretty darn close.
i would rather hear the music than see my nightmares, but i don't want to do either.
here is a list of meds i have taken or am taking:
wellbutrin
prozac
celexa
lexapro
concerta
strattera
xanax
valium
alprazolam (all of the "am" meds (diazepam...)
lamictil
ambien
trazidonei really can't think of anymore, but i know there is more to that list.
so my question... with my current mental ailments (i don't want to sound dramatic); major depression, bipolar II (that's a new one) anxiety, OCD... are there any combinations of meds that anyone can suggest?
i hope i don't sound like a total wacko.
