I am here again... asking for helppp!!

[geesja]

I have been diagnosed with Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder II, in my opinion is not to much depression as Anxiety.I can not use antidepresants as they make me very anxious. So, they prescribed anti-anxiety pills also wich make me fill like a zombie, lossing memory and lack of attention, so I lost my job and friends. Then, then decided to prescribe mood stabilizers then my TSH test got affected and they prescribed me thyroids pills. They put me with Quetiepine and I got  a seizure and paralized muscles (and tongue).  Anyway, I stoped funtioning and overmedicated, no energy, pannic, social fobia, and so on... I decided to stop (gradually) everything by myself and after a couple of months I am feeling MUCH better now...even, I came back to work, But, its difficult to deal with my changes of mood and thoughs , can not manage  any emotion (neither bad nor good ones) they are so frecuents. My husband is not able to deal with it, he gets stucked on fights with me and I am really hurt. What to do?? Either or, with or without medications my life is so miserable!!! Sometimes I think about killing myself would stop my pain and the troubles to the rest of the people around me, Note: I have tried aditional treatments as nature pills, counselling, workshops, relaxations CDs, auto hypnosis therapy, positive afirmations, tons of books, religions, prayers, and so on with no results... Someone help me , pleaseeee!!

At this point I think you need to step back and re-evaluate your past and current treatment.

It could be that the doctor treating you was too agressive with your medication or maybe the doctors med choices were wrong for your disagnosis and symptoms.

What do we do when we don't like the results we get drom a doctor? We get a second or even third opinion on our condition. A fresh look from a better trained doctor.

I would seriously advise that you stop messing with the amatures of the mental health system.

You need or should I say must find a Board Certified Psychiatrist that is also a well trained and experienced Psychopharmocologist. Read that again because it's important. Do that and in 3 months I have $100 that says you will feel better.
