Frustrated

I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, panic attacks (which for 5 years I thought it was asthma) and migraines. I have been on almost everything (Zoloft, Luvox, Xanax, Seroquel...gave me seizures, Effexor, Topamax...terrible side effects, Paxil...terrible to come off of, Lexapro, Celexa, Klonopin, Rozerem, Omega-3, Melatonin, Vistaril) and just seems like nothing is working. I am also having biofeedback done. I started getting medication when I was 17, but I have just recently started to accept and come to terms with my problems; I am now 24. I mean my family says I have always been moody and extremely sensitive. It just seems as if I am taking all this medication and seeing all these doctors and nothing is working for me. I want to stop fighting with my boyfriend and my mom. It's to the point that I self-sabotage myself by always wanting to be ill or compulsively picking at my skin to maybe make everything go away. Can anyone relate?

Re: Frustrated

I know what you mean. Seventeen different meds and nothing has helped. I feel your frustration.

Re: Frustrated

Vicki
it can be very frustrating
klonapin, a valium type med always helps with no nasty side effects and can be relied on, BTW its spoiled by hot storage, keep the tablets cool
if you can find an antidepressant that works for you it will help a lot but it can be a difficult search
have you tried CBT
