If you have TIME...Need ADVICE on MEDS...

Posted by SometimesBlue on August 27, 2007, at 16:06:53

Hi all, need some advice on medications. Here's the following information on myself (i've actually kept a journal which shows just what i've been feeling and going thru, i tend to leave out info at my doc's office..always overwhelmed)

Currently on Lexapro 20mg once a day in the a.m. usually, and i take an ephedrine based energy pill (24mg ephedrine based alkoids(?).

Symptoms:

Depressed, especially at night/evenings
Tired (physically, my body feels heavy? but i'm not overweight)
Sleep (or try to) a lot
Anxiety all the time
Panic attacks, (3 in the past month)
Aorgasmia (that one really sucks!)FYI: i'm female
Not apathetic, but sometimes i feel like i can't cry (can't let out whatever is making me sad even though i want to)
Dysthmia, frequently, I don't thinks it's everyday
Depersonalization during panic attacks
Lack of Focus
Lack of Motivation
Lack of Organization
Can't seem to get things done without writing a list to keep me organized, or just so i can check it off and feel good that i accomplished something(?)make sense
I always feel like when i try to do things like chores, i can't get started, my mind starts racing and i always feel like i have to do this first, or that, and then something else, so nothing ever gets done...i don't know if there's a term, but it's frustrating and isn't a mind over matter thing.
I'm also smoking and drinking a lot recently, which is weird but i feel like it's somehow tied into everything else.

My take on me is that I am obviously suffering from depression, this past month has been eextremely worse, i don't know why. But i also think I have some ADD symptoms, not sure if it's ADD though.

Anyway from what I've read on babble, i compiled (in my journal) a list of stuff to ask my doctor about, but any info you can give me would be very helpful:

Wellbutrin: smoking, anorgasmia, depression
Paxil or Prozac: for anxiety, i hear it also doesn't make you tired
Ritalin, Adderall, Celexa or Focalin: for the ADD-like symtoms

What do you guys think? Any negative side affects i should know about?

please help...


Thanks in advance,
Blue

PS: sorry for the lengthy post, i just really want to get this problem resolved oince and for all, i hate this up and down rollercoater everyday, and lately i'm in sucha hole, i have 2 kids, i dont want them to suffer because i'm a mess.
