> Is it possible for someone to be in such a state of depressed anxious psychosis that *everything* makes me miserable? Geezzus...I just want some relief..please! Any special med combo or such? I've been grinding at this for 10 years. I just want to yell, cry, scream. This isn't just a few months or a couple of years..it is a decade!! If there is no hope...why even bother with carrying on...it's just pain. Any help...please.

> JayHi Jay, I don't think I ever read where you have tried any Depakote. Also a low-dose combo of Depakote and Neurontin seemed to work well. Sometimes other meds you are taking are *triggering* the anger. One way I have found to gauge my general level of hostility/anxiety is how I feel driving. If my anxiety level is way up all the other cars (*not* the drivers) seem menacing. If my hostility level is way up all the other cars are trying to "get away" with something they don't deserve, or they are "cheating" in some way. Whenever I was tolerating Neurontin fairly well at higher doses I felt like all the other cars were "friendly" and "interesting". I guess I test drive my drugs! Sorry for the rambling..
