I stopped all of meds except for Adderall and clonazapam. I am now feeling much worse. The first few days I felt fine and convinced myself that I didn't need all those meds.
I feel worse than ever now and I am very suicidal. I called my pdoc yesterday and today and he hasn't returned my call and I don't know why. Maybe there is something wrong with him. He has never done this before.
But I want to die so much. I want to go to sleep and never wake up.

Oh Maxime! I feel for you. I feel the same way except I want to wake up and find things different, like they were before I got sick. I've experienced the same thing with pdocs not calling back. Did you say you were suicidal? Sometimes they do not get the message. Call again. Sometimes they just don't want to be bothered which really bothers me. That's part of their jobs isn't it? To be there when their pts need them. Why did you stop taking your meds? Were you feeling okay until you stopped? Fondly, Phillipa

If you still have the other meds, you should take some, at least once. Tell your doctor what happened when he finaly returns your call.

He finally called and I see him on Tuesday. He said we would figure something out. I stopped my meds (except for Adderall and Clonazapam) because I am sick of meds. I have been on everything and different combos. I just want to die. Now I have stop the Adderall if it's being pulled from Canada. DAMMIT! I went through a bad withdrawal just 4 weeks ago. I had a seizure! No, I can't handle this much longer.

Oh No Maxime! You are going through so much right now. I'm so glad your pdoc called you back, I knew he would. He must have had an emergency. He sounds very supportive and kind. He also sounds like he treats you like a "partner" in your care. I know you both will come up with an answer. Hang in there. I'm thinking of you. Fondly, Phillipa

Hey, if you need to get off the meds, get off the meds!
When I go in I just throw different ideas at my doctor, he throws ideas back, and when I go home I try to find a good solution, and tell him the next time.

But now I feel worse. More suicidal. And now that I have found out about Adderall being discontinued I am really upset. Because I had to stop that med 4 weeks ago because I couldn't afford it. But then my doctor paid for the prescription.
I can't go through withdrawal right now. I can't!
Ugh. My life is a nightmare.

Hi,
>I can't go through withdrawal right now. I can't!
You can take Dexadrine instead, it will block your withdrawal symptoms.

Maxmime, Can you order over the internet? You are so lucky to have such a compasionate pdoc. I know he will help you with an answer. What does he say about the drug being discontinued? To both you and Ed, my computer will not receive mail, I posted a Thread about this. This is the only way I can correspond until it is fixed. I'm scanning all the Threads looking for the ones that I responded to. Fondly, Phillipa
