> never got anything but a few days releif if that from meds. they provide a little hope that is always given and taken. Personaly I feel I will spend the rest of my life on meds, as I am to far gone for therapy to snatch me from the beast.
> Whats worse I have to wrestle the docs to try new things, up doses and try to get something effective, 5 years and tryed only SSri's singaly and now depakote singaly (one week). this is my life on drugs, am I being unfairly treated?
> young, sad and scared for my life.I know how you feel. It stinks having to take meds to try to keep the mental wolves at bay. But the right combination does work. I have been releived of my obsessive behavior and anxiety by zoloft and clonopin. My complaint is that they haven't done enough research to fix the side effects yet. I have definite mixed emotions. On one hand I am happy to be more mentally "normal" but hate the fact that I gain weight so easily and am dead from the waist down !! Its a real crapshoot to get it right, but I hope to keep trying till someone gets it right. Therapy does help if you get someone good, but it is work that I frankly wish I didn't have to be bothered with. I am happy to know that I am not alone in this. Hang in there.
