> i become enraged and really anxious all the time.
What is the rage about... anger is a stage of trying to come to terms with some condition ?
> everyone i see calls it soemthing different. most common thing ive heard is panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.
GAD and panic disorder usually respond best (initially) to things like klonopin, and SSRIs like paxil, lets say.
>
> ive heard it called major depression, organic mood disorder (because it started after using lots of marijuana) and hallucinogen disorder not otherwise specified.Major depression is another story.. that goes down the road of various medical (and psychological) interventions.
HPPD (in your case HPPD NOS) ironically does not always respond to things like Zyprexa or other atypicals -- its counter intuitive. A lot of things have been tried for this.
But maybe there is a clue that I find very hard to accept with my condition, that until something radically different than I've already tried comes along, psychodynamic therapy, doing things through accomplishing steps and exploring the depths of what is the core of what is really making you anxious and have spells of rage, is actually a genuine way of getting some relief.
But this is just my experience and I'm not saying its easy or always has worked -- for me its hard to come to terms with what I have in the Here and Now, and how to work with and around it......because medical interventions have had their consequences and trials of new interventions.... well my doctor has his reservations because of what has happened in the past... anyhow this isn't really about me, I'm just giving an example.
