In the last 2 or 3 weeks my mood was bad and some med changes 4 days ago made me irritable and somehow strangely paranoid about my girlfriend: She left me tonight and now I'm not going well as you can guess. This is nightmarish.HELP would be greatly appreciated. I usally help more people than I request help but now I feel pretty *ucked. That's in those time I highly appreciate the fact that there is more knowlegeable poeple here thab me.
*** Diagnostic:
1.Possible Bipolar Type 2 OR the soon to be included in DSM-V Type "Depression with flip into mania ONLY caused by some meds".2.Anxiety and Generalized Social phobia (somehow atypical because episodic).
--------------------------------------------*** Troubles with meds.. Hypersensitivity:
Some meds works well but when it does I suffer TOO MUCH from ->
1. Can't stand the sexual side effect with I'm VERY sensitive too. General anesthesia, E.D, lack of libido and anorgasmia are a problem at my age to say the least and makes me feel miserable. Note that Serotonergic or not I seem to keep a level of those side effect even MANY months after. Post-SSRI E.D. is highly probable but, as you can guess, not DXed.
2. Makes me kind of dumb and makes me think 'abnormaly' like slight mania does: strange ideas etc. Cognitive skills greatly decrease(memory, focus, executive functions etc) and render me dysfunctional at an adult form of ADD. (Am I ADD ? .. Ritalin makes me nuts, senses overstimulation painful etc)
3. Amotivational and the emotional numbness.
----------------------------------------------*** Meds I've tried:
1. All SSRIs except Prozac, Serzone and Luvox.
2. SNRIs: Tried Effexor XR.
3. TCA: only atypical Tianeptine and Wellbutrin.
4. MAOIs: Nardil, Parnate and Moclobemide.
5. MS: Lamictal, Lithium, Epival, Phenytoin, Topomax and other. I think I didn't try Carbamazepine.
6. Gabapentin, Pregabalin.
7. Clonazepam, Alprazolam, Ativan, Buspar.
8. Risperdal, Seroquel, Orap, Zyprexa.
9. T4, Amantadine, Cyproheptadine, Yohimbine, Desyrel, Testosterone, Cabergoline, Ritalin.
-------------------------------------------No doubt I forgot a couple thing here. I'm exhausted and in pain and that doesn't help.
Any proposition of what I could try next ? I'll glady tell you how I responded to some of those meds in my list if you ask me.
Thanks for the help. It means a lot to me.
