Hey all. I saw a new pdoc today. I was not expecting much but I was actually quite pleased with the outcome.
He said it was too early to say though or something like this, because he hasnt seen it first hand, but I might not actually have Bipolar disorder afterall and might have had a breif psychotic episode which may have been caused by all the drug use at the time. But anyway he is leaving me on Depakote just in case. He agree's with the diagnosis that two other psychatrists have made saying that I have OCD, and also anxiety and depression.
Anyway so now he has put me on 10mg of Valium, 75mg Anafranil (to be increased to 150mg next time i see him) and the 1000mg of Depakote I already take.
To be honest, Im quite scared of going back on Anafranil. I only lasted 1 week on it before. It made me soooooooo constipated and I found it hard to urinate. I guess this time if this happens I will take laxatives but what should I do about the urination thing if that happens? Cranberry juice ive heard can help is that true?
I just hope i can stand the side effects of Anafranil. Everyone keeps telling me how great it is but im scared :(
Take care all and thanks
