> Is it possible you are on the wrong group of medications? I use to take the ssri and found out I was on the wrong kind of medicine, I was actually bipolar 2 and needed a med for that. I stopped celexa a while back ago and kept slipping into anxiety pits and despair and using valium for it ALL, I think valium is the best but I've never tried anything else. I finally found a Dr that diagnosed me with bipolar 2 and put me on risperdal and then everything changed! I laughed, I felt closer to my husband then I have in years, I had patience with the kids and I had energy! Then I got dumb and scared of the side effects of diabetes and weight gain and I stopped taking it! Dumbest thing I ever did. I tried it twice again and never had the same effect so now seeing pdoc nextTuesday for something new. Just a thought that maybe you need less of some meds and something different?
Thanks so much for your reply!! It's very possible I'm on the wrong group of meds. I tried Lamictal, which was really great for anxiety and depression during the day, but at night, I had major rages (almost got a divorce from my husband). I tried Lithium in my 20's, but it completely flattened me out.
I'm very anxious about weight gain since I already gained 20 pounds when I upped my zoloft (bizarre response, I know). I have exactly four outfits I can fit in. I may have to go back to my boxed-up pregnancy clothes soon! :}
However, I'll definitely ask my pdoc about risperdal. Thank you so much for your advice!
