In reply to Interesting article re fear and anger, posted by whitmore on May 24, 2009, at 19:59:37
I do have depression but it's a very angry depression. the anger seems to be an expression of fear and also self-pity.
my pdoc once wanted me to try abilify, but I was too frightened of diabetes and tardive dyskinesia. I have BDD and anything appearance related is very difficult. Like medicating an anorexic with something that's going to make them put on weight. Even as I'm typing this<i'm thinking it's all hopeless. The cost of taking these meds. in my case seems so high. On any of the AS meds, my hair falls out and I'm stupid. NO orgasm on the sSRi's. Anticipated massive weight gain on the Ap's. What to do? I feel my only option is to go back to an sSRi. I was on them for about 12 years, with some success, but inability to enjoy sex. I was enjoying that aspect of my life coming back, which is why I've tried to find other options. I'm 58 now, so if I go back on teh SSRI's that's the absolute end of my sex life. rem serz nardil tca's all make anger worse. Any idea whther agomelatine(sp?) or namenda could help? Having problems with caps on keyboard, hence mistakes in typing...
