I don't mean to obsess, but none of these medicines are working for me. I'm on zoloft and I'm anxious. I would take klonopin or something, but those just don't seem to be the answer. (that's what my doctor says) But you know what bothers me about klonopin.. lol I eat more. Ya I'm obsessed and so afraid to gain weight. I will get over it someday, but it's very very hard and super tricky. When I gain weight (or feel like it) all I do is sit in my basement and never come out because I don't want people to see me (my friends) and think I'm fat. Which is such a joke........ wow. I need to get over this crap and move on. It's like social anxiety mixed with anorexia.
I feel like a failure a bit because everything I'm on fails or has side effects like intense insomnia. I would name off what I've tried, but I don't feel very good right now.
I think my problems are:
-obsessiveness/care to much about things most people don't
-social anxiety
-major depression
-mood swings maybe... let's just say I'm not too stable. mehThe meds I haven't tried are some of the benzos, MAOIs, remeron, the TCAs, serzone
I liked Luvox, but I had terrible insomnia, some acne, maybe some sexual dysfunction. But hey I felt good. I was somewhat lazy.
Anyway.... I'm going to Jamaica in a month or something and I'm sooo excited! I love that place, the people were nice too. Oh and the sun is great... makes me feel good. It's winter here in Ohio, so the suns not out.What would you do if you were my doctor, what would you give me?? You'd probably fire me! I probably need to go to this eating disorder place and get some therapy.
Im just yapping away, I usually do this when I'm borderline depressed.

well trazodone would end the insomnia as an AD.
if you're unstable, quetiapine might be better
meh, theres lots of options, it just all depends.
are you actually overweight?
im in ohio now, it was snowing all day. nice when you don't have to go out and can stay warm drinking tea ll day.

ive taken trazodone alot before and it makes me anxious. Plus strangly I think I went hypomanic. I was going so fast... and bam just burnt out. Seroquel and other ap's have a weird effect on me, make me feel super strange like a change in concense (cant think of how to spell it).
so your from ohio? Ya yesterday was a real beutiful day when the snow was just coming down like crazy. I mean itd stink to drive in and plow but it's cool to watch. Ya, drinking some good old tea. I like tea alot but havnt been drinking it lately. I love some tea with some milk in it. well cya thanks

Hey Sam,Jade here. I was wondering, I believe you said the only Doc you see is a PDoc? Has he/she given you a firm diagnisis or more if that applies? Just trying to get the full picture here. The only therapy you get is from your PDoc? Do you mind sharing how long that lasts per session and how often you see him/her?
Kinda seems like maybe something is missing here that could be beneficial to you, not sure. Could you let me know?
Don't worry, I'm in the same boat, I start with a new PDoc and therapist next week. Yikes!

Btw-My whole family is from Ohio! We moved but still vacation on Lake Erie every summer.

No, I'd send you off to Bolivia and give you enough money to feed yourself while you walked home.
