Hello all,
I am in dire need of help. I am going through a mixed agitated depression of sorts. These have been the bane of my life for the past year, and this one is back with a vengeance.I wake up in the morning with severe anxiety and agitation... so much that I feel like I must walk around, pace, cannot stop. The anxiety is overwhelming. During the course of the day, the anxiety comes down just a bit but is still there, and I have crying spells and cannot relax. Finally in the evening, I am simply agitated andrestless (cannot stop fidgeting and tapping), but my anxiety levels have decreased markedly... only to often repeat the same vicious cycle the next day. I take trileptal and Luvox, and Ativan as needed,and actually was doing ok until they tried Buspar, which destabilized me. The only other variable I can think of is that I went on a low carb diet abotu two months ago just to make sure I did not gain weight form my meds... I have a strong suspicion that this may be involved. First of all, what is going on with me? Has anyone experienced these agitated mixed episodes? I need help. I see my psychiatrist tomorrow, and need suggestions as to what I may do to overcome this hell that has been torturing me for the past year off and on.
Please help
