My psychiatrist and I have tried over 30 medications for my Generalized Anxiety, NONE of which have even remotely helped and my symptoms (mainly insomnia and trouble focusing) have disabled me when ALL i want to do is be able to work like a normal person.
My psychiatrist has given up on me and feels I do more research then him so he allows me to bring my medication suggestions and he tries me on whatever I come up with. Now that i have convinced him I might have had ADD/ADHD all along, he has no problem with me trying those meds. I NEED help, I know meds are different for everyone and you cant tell me what to try, but I am HOPELESS and I simply cannot keep doing this trial and error game, im exausted and have given up 99%. I NEED a suggestion to bring to my doctor at our appt today or else he is going to put me on some crap that is not going to work. Here are the biggest issues i need addressed. My insomnia, which ive had since I was 5, has been the worst case any doctor has ever seen so i need a med that wont make it worse OR a good sleep aid i can take with an ADD med. I NEED a med that will
Hopefully calm my racing thoughts down to the point where a stimulant might actually help me sleep, if I can shut down my over active brain
Need a sleep aid I can take with a stimulant, currently amitriptylne is the only med that has been sedating enough to help my insomnia
Need a medication that will calm my random racing thoughts and let me focus and concentrate at work. Today I made a big mistake at work as my co worker caught that I didnt do something I was supposed to do, and when asked, I honestly cant remember if i did it or not. This was like half hour after the incident, i could not remember whether I did it or not. Then i couldnt rememeber whether i even entered the area where i was supposed to complete the task, my memory is always hazy, i try to repeat things in my head several times so i will remember but still forget everything. And i generally cannot remember any rules or regulations at work, even though ive been there 2 years.
Advice for my appt today, please!
