Hi borderliner21....My name is Pamela Lynn..I too have Borderline Personality Disorder; and am Bi-polar, also suffer from anxiety/panic attacks. I am NO EXPERT, not even by far...but here is the med. combination that I am on, that has FINALLY worked for me:
Effexor 75mg Capsules...One in the morning and two in the evening, before bed. (For me the Effexor was a literal life saver.)
Wellbutrin SR 100mg Tablets...Two in the morning and two at 5pm.
Zyprexa 2.5mg Tablets...one in the morning, one mide morning, one in early evening and TWO at bedtime...also a life saver for me!
I take Alprazolam (Xanax) as needed for anxiety/panic attacks.
I am also in Cognitive Therapy with a wonderful therapist. In my opinion..Therapy is ESSENTIAL for the Borderliner...the meds. help, ya know?
Keep us posted. Good luck to you.
P.L.
> Hi this is my first time posting in here for a while. I come here sometimes and browse through some of the threads. My main problems are social phobia and borderline personality. In the past I have been diagnosed with depression, tourrett's syndrome, ocd, borderline personality, anti-social personality and social anxiety. I am very concerned about finding the right drug for my problems. I was on paxil for 2 years, this drug was a life saver but it made my bpd worse. I don't know why I stayed on this drug for that long but I was recently diagnosed with antisocial and borderline personality disorders; my last 2 diagnosis.
> I need to find a drug that will treat all of my problems including bpd. Are there any other srri's that treat social phobia as well as paxil does? I need something that doesn't make bpd worse. Expert advice needed!!!
