First, ignore your friends. They cant possibly understand because they havent felt it themselves. Would you mind going over with us what meds you have tried and what if anything you have had some success with? As for your pdoc, all i can say that if you post here, you will become much more savvy about meds and diagnoses and may be able to deal with him on a better level. Best of Luck, and please hang in there and keep posting. Melodie

Why do I get the feeling that you are your own worst enemy?
I didn't reply the first time because I didn't know what "the plot" was.
One day at a time? I'm living one second at a time right now. In terror of my soon-to-be-ex and in terror of myself. I can't sleep at night because of fear. I can't think during the day because panic and anxiety are crowding everything out and my world's focus narrows down on things that stump me and I don't know how to fix it or fix anything. I'm broke, I don't have a fence for my dogs, they are destroying my carpet, my soon-to-be-ex is trying to get me fired at work, and i'm sooooo DAMN tired. my meds are gone. who would steal Imipramine???
i guess i'm losing the plot too.
thanks for inviting me to share.

thanks melodie, yeah from reading this before i reckoned people here would be able to give better advice than my shrink. its not that im not well aquainted with shrinks and meds,ive been seeing a shrink since my ma died when i was 5,im 23 now.
its just it gets to a point and you get pure sick of being treated like a lab rat for every drug out there. you asked what meds i was on,ive been on loads of stuff,every 'family',anti depressants(prozac,effexor,sinequan,lexapro),
anti psychotics(zyprexa,melloril), tranks(valium,librium,dalmane,temazepam,ativan,xanax)and some sleepers.im trying not to take anything cos i dont want to be dependant on anything, but i think i have to,cos im going mental,or feel like it,and its scary!it doesnt feel like panic,as such,more so as if youre flying a plane or something and the controls are broken,and youre going to,most likely,crash. its probably how ive got noone really to talk about it,apart from a diary,cos like i said,friends just say snap out of it.i try and understand them,its probably difficult to see someone acting crazy,even still some empathy wouldnt go amiss! its limng of isolation thats so infuriating and desolate though.im waffling on here,sorry! what meds have you been on,did you find anything helpful for you?

Lets have a UK mental girls group. (Ditzy I like your name as I think will liligoth we all will have related names soon hee hee)
Are you guys at "normal" gp practices? I went to the University Health Services and cos they're stuck onto the Psychiatry Dept. they get you high high ups to decide who you should see... It's definitely worth trying to go over your docs head if you think they are really not for you. (I am very much of the opinion that there are very intelligent people being treated for being too intelligent by people who are not so... so we should jump to the clever ones at the top and complain if needed)
Anyhoo, I'm quite zippy today so I won't irritate the board any further.

hiya crazychick, yeah i'll definitly email you! my address is ditzypixy@hotmail.com, i see a nhs shrink too,dunno if i already said it?well its gms,but thats the same thing,cos i live in ireland. your experience with shrinks sounds shite,thats how it was for me at first,like i practically waited a year until i got to see a shrink,apart from the first stupid assesment,yknow the kind, do you hear voices/do you injure yourself/do you ever think you're stalin,ect,so they can tick you off and slap a label on you and give you the appropriate drugs. i got thrown onto some stupid day proramme course too,playing connect 4 tournaments,that sort of thing.i missed my appointment last week,cos i was too hungover to go in,got up too late and when i rung they were so bitchy about it,i really couldnt bitch about them enough,so i wont!
