Hi,
I'm getting increasingly frustrated and dissapointed in my attempts to find a good doctor. I've seen 5 in the last 6 months and I cannot understand why the only meds. they want to give me are SSRI's which are not satisfactory in my personal opinion.
I'm sick and tired of feeling hopeless. I'm starting to wonder if I will ever feel happy.I do not really know if the Prozac is helping. I'm also taking Buspar for anxiety but I'm not too impressed with this drug. I'm having more Panic attacks now on Prozac than when I was on Paxil. BUT I put on too much weight. I found out recently that Paxil is the worst drug to give anybody who has an eating disorder. I've had 3 major panic attacks in the last month and had to take some Lorazepam.
I have no desire to leave my house or do anything for that matter. It is getting really hard for me to function. The older I get the worse I feel.Tomorrow, I'm seing my doctor, not a shrink, and I'm thinking of asking him about Risperdal. Last time he was uneasy about adding anything like that with the Prozac.
I would appreciate any experiences, positive and negative. Is it a good add, or is it best to take on its own.
Thanks to all.
