Hi, Here's my story:
- Moody in vaying degrees my whole life (with bouts of depression and episodes of rage with many suicidal gestures and thoughts)
- some sexual and emotional abuse as an adolescent girl
- developed bulimia at age 13
- in unhappy marriage for 10+ years
- depression and mood disorder getting much worse (cycling hard to determine, very irregular and evn daily).
- never treated as a child or young adult
- finally sought treatment about a year ago
- one pdoc prescribes Lamictal, Cymbalta and Abilify
- another Neurologist and pdoc prescribe Neurontin for (a) strange taste sensations, neuropathic pain and numbness (b)pdoc for mood, so chose this because it addresses physical symptoms(taste, numbness)) as well as mood. Afraid of other combo and pdoc refuses to discuss, says just take it or not
- been on Neurontin since Dec. 2010, dose worked up to 1500 mg
- notice regular cycling and does not help for taste or numbness. This pdoc will not return my calls and cannot see for a month.
- experiencing extreme lack of concentration, memeory problems and cycle from hypomanic to very sad, then back again over course of a week.
- I cannot get adequate help after trying for a year!
What do I do now???
