> Damn, it seems as though you are having a really hard time. Don't belittle your own not have a care in the world, does. Why don't you tell your doc to give you some respect and to start helping you. Or better yet, get a new feelings just because some idiot doc, who does one. You say it takes to long - nonsense. Walk in an emergency room and tell them that you want to blow your head off. When you actually have the opportunity to speak to a pdoc tell them that the suicidle guesture has passed, how awful your life is (even if it is not that bad) and before you know it you will have an appt. with a new pdoc. I have done it a few times. I wanted help then so I went and got it. It sure beets waiting months and months for the referal requested by your gp.

Well, I don't know. I don't feel that histrionic right now. I do feel up for a confrontation and when I am pissed enough, he does tend to listen so we'll see what happens next time I see him. If he still shruggs me off I will probably take my business elsewhere, although I don't know where that would be exactly.

Right now, just Klonopin 2mg/daily. My doc wants me on Neurontin too but it just adds to the ataxia and doesn't do much for the anxiety so I dropped it (progressively). I used to be on Wellbutrin. I got nervous about it because it was making my neck twitch and it was not improving my "blah" sort of mood (I am not really clinically depressed at this point, just what doctors would call "demoralized"). But the Wellbutrin was really helping with my attention, I can see that now, in retrospect. I have never "officially" taken Klonopin and Wellbutrin together but the side-effects of the latter are considerably diminished by the former. I'm considering going back on the Wellbutrin (on a lower dose, my doc always has me on these massive doses).

> Once you do get under the care of a good pdoc you will be surprised at how much they can help. The problem is finding one. I do not have one right now either if it makes you feel any better. I make the changes necessary to my drug cocktail when I feel needed and my gp writes out the prescription. I understand that your case is a little more complicated since you do not have a clear diagnoses as of yet. I have been only recently diagnosed. Before that, I helped myself with regards to reading anything and everything until I was educated enough to come to my own conclusions and to make my own drug cocktail. Like I have mentioned in other posts, the one who is going to pull you out of this mess is not the pdoc, your family or your friends. It is going to be you and no one else. That is my advice. If the pdocs want to be ignorant then do it yourself.


I have been rather manipulative with him of late. I don't WANT to be but he makes it hard for me not to be. But I get sick of lying and trying to present with exactly the right symptoms in order to get what I believe will help. Yet, my intuition has been good so far. But really, I wish it wasn't so complicated

> Good luck!

You too and thanks for the input!
