Re: Question to all about a med...

I am neither bipolar or schizophrenic. And yet my pdoc wanted to put me on a "mood stabilizer". Have been on a lot of different meds in the past. Finally, years ago, I did really well on prozac (other SSRIs worked for a while but then stopped helping). It helped with the depression and OCD. I finished school and got a job in my field of study.

Unfortunately this last year things started to go down hill. I just tried to "grit my teeth and bear it." As time went on, things just got harder and harder. Lot's of anxiety and depression, problems sleeping and so forth. Had a couple panic attacks at work. Even had a suicide attempt which obviously didn't work. When I woke up the next day, I knew I had to get some help again.

I went back to my old pdoc after my regular doc wanted me to go see a pdoc. She kept me on the prozac, but she did add seroquel. The only thing good that has come from this so far is that I was given a leave of absence from work for a month. I am so freakin' scared to go back though. Major stress!!

Sorry I started to really ramble here! So far I am not seeing any change, and the clock is ticking for me to return to work. I just don't know what to do.

Thanks for letting me vent. :)
