My switching is extremely abrupt and can change several times within a day. I have extreme anger outburts and have had people abandon me because of it.
Unfortunately I don't believe I'm on the right medication right now. I was originally diagnosed with severe depression. My family dr prescribes my meds and I'm on 267.5mg Effexor XR and Xanax for when my moods get out of control. My dr wants a pdoc to make further med changes. I think he feels unqualified to make further changes, which he probably is. I would like to be on a mood stabilizer. Up to this point I have been unable to find a pdoc that will take me on due to my several childhood traumas. I have been told that my case is 'delicate' and 'extremely difficult' to treat by several pdocs. It was originally my therapist who diagnosed the BPD in addition to the severe depression. I have since gone to an Institute for Mental Health and Addiction and have started preliminary psychatric testing and so far the tests show that I do indeed have BPD. I still have to go back for more tests as is the common procedure there. I am in the process to be admitted to their BPD program. My family and friends all agree with my BPD diagnosis as they have been the reciprocents (sp?) of my splitting, anger and other symptoms.
