Hey all. I'm a 20 year old male diagnosed with Borderline personality disorder.
I gave up on all my medication about a month ago and am starting fresh. For the sake of wanting to see which medication people suggest i will not mention previous medications YET.All advice is welcome on this topic, preferably some professional advice.
My current situation is this:
*mild mood instability - cycling regularly between childishness, exhaustion, anxiety and depression(not as bad as its sounds, its actually manageable these days with the help of CA therapy).
*moderate atypical depression - over eating/weight gain, lack of motivation/interest/energy, apathy, feelings and thoughts of guilt(past suicide attempts and self harm).
*generalized yet mainly social anxiety - worrying about anything and everything, especially being judged by others, avoidance of social situations, (nervous feelings through entire body when forced into social circumstances).
My main question i put to readers of this post is what u think the most appropriate medications are for the above, preferably trying to hit more than 1 bird with 1 stone at a time.
All posts would be much appreciated, oh and im not about to run down to my local doctor and get scripts for the medication people recommend, im here only for advice to assist my research into meds that i can approach my new psychiatrist about.
Thanx guys, i will be posting daily.
