As far as the previous posts that you may have browsed throught, i had been having a feeling my thoughts were losing control, losing reality, sort of a disconnected feeling, i cant determine if this part of psychotic synodromes, or dissociative disorder, becuase of the exteremly high stress that was happening during that period.
My psychiatrist has gave me samples of Respirdal, they are very odd, feeling of complete "numbness" sort of of my thoughts, i defintly dont feel myself.
But i have described him this paranormal phenomenaon of how dexedrine seems to stablize my thought patterns, from complete chaos to a...... reenforced grip on them, a strong feeling of " I am in control, and nothing is going to stop me" very very odd, we disscuessed much, asked me repeated times "are you sure, becuase this medication excacerbates psychosis and other disorders",
I've been referred to a nuerologist for more advanced investigation, an MRI, and EEG, are going to be preformed, i argued much with him about getting a PET scan since it is known to detect thought disturbances, but he said it is only used in studies and researches.
That frustrates me.I currently take 45mg of Dexedrine daily which seems to keep me from thinking im going insane, before an attack, Klonopin will only take the edge off, not the feeling of instablity.
I know Dexedrine increases dopamine levels which dopamine increases drive, and maybe a sense of control.
Can anyone maybe talk with me about this?
