Re: Med Phobia: am I high or just happy?

10mg lexapro & 100mg seroquel before bedtime. Those meds I don't have a problem with, though the seroquel bugs me for health/TD/EPS potential.

I've got a damaged nerve from an old hernia repair that causes significant pain when I breathe. So maybe 3 times a week I'll take 5 mg oxycodone to get relief.

Diazepam is every other day at 5mg when I allow myself.

When I control my pain and anxiety, I feel joy and hope. I know I sound pitiful, but is that so wrong?

Perhaps my symptoms are not being controlled by medication; it's hard for me to say this but 100mg seroquel ain't cutting it for the aural hallucinations and there's a voice that gets through telling me to flush all my meds. Also, I purposely cause myself pain in that nerve-damaged area when I'm agitated.

what a dolt I am.

And now the upshot: we're all survivors, I'm proud of us. If I can be of any help at all to anyone through words of encouragement, let me know.

Helping helps. :)


> It sounds to my like your meds are not giving you adequate relief. If they were you probably wouldn't be feeling so med-phobic. Tell us what you are taking and those of us on the board can better address your problem.
