I see my Doc this afternoon,i made a cancelled appt. due to being in such bad shape,and im taking my mother in case i fail to project the seriosness of my condition now.
Whats happening is the med parnate is hardly doing its job as a anti-depressant,more importantly im having break down spells through the day,and come back around hour or to later,wihout being a docter im assuming its some sort of rapid clycling,i feel like i might be ok and BAM anxiety and depression and total loss of self control (maniac like) tide waves over me!
To control the anxiety and break out spells,ive sought to meds to discuss with my doc,topamax...and keppra.Ive tried everything else and this is what i am considering at the momeny.
Please knowing i take parnate i am in need of some general opinions on whic of these two i should lean towards more!Please dont confuse me more with any others,BUT i really would value all`s opinion on these two.
I think im expecting parnate to be a AD,a stablizer,and anti-anxiety agent rolled in one!My hope is one of these two help lighten the load on parnate and the medication might work much better for me.
Please im in dier need,my appt is soon and im too much of a mess to think clearly,all i want is something to calm racing thoughts,sever up and downs,with the least sedating effect!
Even if u post to say how u did on either med is fine.
Personaly im leaning towards keppra as it says to be a help with anxiety,stop maniac episodes and even work a lil on ocd,its also unlike the others all which i failed on!
Parnate helps a bit with anxiety so i dont need a hardcore anxiety agent like a benzo,so keppra can have little anxiety relieaf,long as its something.
Im just worried either of these two instead of helping will worsen my depressiom,its one of my fears!Thanks million x a million for listening to this post.
A babbler in a very scary spot!Thanks
