> I AM 18 , AND HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF PSYCHIATRIC PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED 3 TIMES,(NONE RECENTLY), AND HAVE BEEN A GUNIEA PIG FOR NUMEROUSE DOCTORS. THINKING BACK ON HOW MANY DIFFERENT DRUGS THEY PRESCRIBED TO ME, AT ONCE, CHANGING THEM DAYTODAY BASIS,ETC...REALLY AGGRIVATES ME, AND MAKES ME WONDER IF IT HAS SLUMPED MY BRAINS NATURAL ABILITY TO FEEL HAPPY,
ANYWAYS, I HAD BEEN PRESCRIBED "ADDERALL" AND "KLONAPIN" BOTH OF THEM TWICE A DAY, ADDERALLS WERE 20MGS, AND KLONAPINES WERE 0.5
IM SURE ANYONE WHO HAS TAKEN ADDERALL HAS SOMETHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT IT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT MAY MAKE ONE FEEL "HIGH", BUT THIS MEDICATION,WHEN USED ON A MAINTAINED SCHEDULE,HELPED ME ATROUCIOUCLY,IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING I USED TO FEEL ALL THE TIME AS A KID, THAT GRADUALLY FADED OVER THE YEARS.ANYWAY, I ,FOR SOME REASON, DIDNT TAKE MY MEDICATION ON A CERTAIN DAY, AND WENT INTO MY SORT OF 1 TRACK THOUGH PROCESS OF MAKING EVERYTHING I WAS CURRENTLY THINKING OF WORSE,AND WORSE TILL I WAS
IN A RAGE, LAYING DOWN, SO PISSED I DIDNT EVEN WANT TO TAKE THE ADDERALL,EVEN THOUGH I KNEW THE REASON FOR THIS OCCURANCE WAS THE MISSED DOSE.
I HAVE HAD VARIOUSE DIAGNOSIS BY NUMEROUS DOCTORS,AND THEY HAVE GIVEN IT ALL TO ME,PROZAC,LUVOX,CLONIDINE,RISPERDAL,LITHIUM,SERZONE,PAXIL(MAKES YOU COMPLETELY NUTTY),BUSPAR,INDERALL,CELEXA,ZOLOFT, YOU NAME IT, IVE TAKEN IT, BUT THROUGH ALL MY OBSERVATION, ALL THIS MEDICINE CONFUSED MY BRAIN,REGARDLESS OFWHAT THE MEDICATION WAS DOING, SO MUCH AT ONCE, AND CHANGING THEM SO FAST MOST DEFINATELY MADE ME SOME NEURON DAMAGE. THEN, AT MY NEXT DOCTORS VISIT,(HE IS A CHILDCARE DOCTOR,MY INSURANCE ONLY PROVIDES THAT UNSTABLE SERVICE),I TOLD HIM ABOUT THIS OUTRAGE I HAD.SO PLAIN AND SIMPLE, WITHOUT ANY WUESTIONS, TOOK MY RIGHT OFF THE ADDERALL,NO QUESTIONS ASKED!HIS REASONING FOR THIS WAS BECAUSE IT WAS A "STIMULANT". (I HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ON IT FOR 4 MONTHS, WITH GREAT RESULTS, UNLIKE ANYOTHER MED IVE EVER TAKEN,ANOTHER DOCTOR HAD PRESCRIBED ME THE MEDS, THEN SHE HAD TO "CHANGE COMPANYS" OR SOMETHING, LEAVING ME WITH AN IGNORANT,NOT SECURE IN HIS OWN SELF, PERSON WITH A TITLE TO PRESCRIBE MEDS TO CHILDREN,) SO THE DAYS AFTER THIS HAVE TOTALLY SUCKED, I STILL TAKE KLONAPIN, BUT I AM NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL,I FEEL, WITHOUT SOME FORM OF FRONTAL STIMULATION. WHAT DO I DO?? SHOULD I EVEN GO ABOUT PROCURING MORE ADDERALL, OR SHOULD I JUST SAY SCREW IT, AND GO WITHOUT, BACK TO MY UNSTABLE,DISTRACTIBLE,AND ANXIOUSE STATE THAT IVE BEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE????I FEEL LIKE IVE BEEN TEASED, THEY GIVE ME SOMETHING THAT WORKS GREAT FOR ME, WITH no SIDE EFFECTS EXPERIANCED, AND THEN THEY TAKE IT AWAY!THAT SUKS! ..ANY HELP ABOUT THIS WOULD BE APPREICIETED GREATLY!!!(OTHER OPTIONS, OR IF YOU BELEIVE I SHOULD GO ABOUT PROCURING MORE, HOW? I DONT WANT TO FEEL LIKE IM HUNTING DOWN AMPHETAMINES LIKE A KRAZY!!!!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, -TUCSON,AZ
