my T and pdoc have been talking, it seems my T has more ideas for meds than pdoc... she is good and i like that she doenst have too big of an ego to say this but today she told me she just doesnt know where to go with me. i'm in mixed state. so suggested i get 2nd opinion.
my old pdoc (that worked So well with) i think is starting back to his practice a bit (left due to family issues). but i dont know if he is able to see me...
i have too long of a list to share the meds i've been on yet i want to ask for suggestions.
dx is mostly bipolar Mixed aka aggitated depression OR psychotic depression.
currently on pristiq 75 (she tried upping this because my depression was getting bad
adderall 20am, 10afternnon
gabapentin 300mg BID going to 3 or 4x daily
zyprexa 5mgi went up on zyprea to 10 and gave me flat affect.
tried upping pristiq to 75 but seems to be cycling me.
cant take me off adderall, only think keeping me from jumping.
gabapentin, honestly not sure what its doing if anything.any suggestions to augment?
i've never been on TCA.
i've been on enough SSRI's to know that either worsen depression or cycle me.******
i guess its pretty bad if your pdoc doenst know where to go next...
bad thing is, i'm not even in a competent state to suggest things. everytime i try to think of something, the birds fly in my head and take away my thoughts (only a visual...not real) see i can kinda joke.i'm safe...no suicidal ideation...yet. but i'm doing this picking thing that makes my hands bleed. infact i was doing it subconciously in pdoc office today and two fingers started bleeding enough i needed bandaids. luckly i carry them...
she stated that it was a very compulsive behavior...
still. she didnt change anything.****
SO... i'm calling out to all babble folks to cycle up some suggestions.if you want a list of meds ive been on, give me a while and i'll post them.
