In reply to New meds needed for anxiety - advice please, posted by garnet71 on April 1, 2009, at 9:52:12
Thanks, you guys, for the advice-and the Nardil salespitch.
I got anxiety the second I woke up.
Phillipa, there's no way in hell I'm going to depend on Xanax to treat my anxiety. When I get it-it's too severe and it can last for days..weeks.
So I'm going to call PDocs office and see If I can get in to see the doc soon. I'll ask the nurse to replace buspirone for now; with what-i don't know yet. She didn't charge me for last appt., but maybe this time they can just bill me
Haven't taken the adderall in almost 36 hrs. Looks like I will have to put that aside.
I wonder if I treat my cortisol and thyroid issue, that the anxiety will go away? I thought the adderall somehow would fix my low thyroid issue.
No, I can't afford health care so I'm stuck treating the symptoms.
Oh, medicaid lady called me yesterday and said I waa denied for medical assistance because I'm a full time college student. I am going to appeal it basedd upon that since I receive an 'income' from teh VA for attending school, it serves as my job. It's far fetched, but I'm gong to give it a try; stranger things have happened from pulling resources out of thin air. Those benefits are derived from previous work, so maybe I have a shot. I have to pull up the state regulations to see how i can work that out. I'm dreading the paperwork though , not sure if I can handle anymore of that when there's a pile of papers here i have to deal with. I can't handle a job with panic attacks right now. At least with school, I can just not show up for class. I already have $2000 in doctors bills here.
Maybe I can get health care from college when I start the summer summester, but I don't know what my financial aid for grad school is yet to know if I can afford to deduct it out of my loans/aid.
But I can't go to school this summer if I don't get stabilized. Another catch 22.
Have a nice day everyone. It's sunny out here.
