> I don't mean to obsess, but none of these medicines are working for me. I'm on zoloft and I'm anxious. I would take klonopin or something, but those just don't seem to be the answer. (that's what my doctor says) But you know what bothers me about klonopin.. lol I eat more. Ya I'm obsessed and so afraid to gain weight. I will get over it someday, but it's very very hard and super tricky. When I gain weight (or feel like it) all I do is sit in my basement and never come out because I don't want people to see me (my friends) and think I'm fat. Which is such a joke........ wow. I need to get over this crap and move on. It's like social anxiety mixed with anorexia.
> I feel like a failure a bit because everything I'm on fails or has side effects like intense insomnia. I would name off what I've tried, but I don't feel very good right now.
> I think my problems are:
> -obsessiveness/care to much about things most people don't
> -social anxiety
> -major depression
> -mood swings maybe... let's just say I'm not too stable. meh
>
> The meds I haven't tried are some of the benzos, MAOIs, remeron, the TCAs, serzone
> I liked Luvox, but I had terrible insomnia, some acne, maybe some sexual dysfunction. But hey I felt good. I was somewhat lazy.
> Anyway.... I'm going to Jamaica in a month or something and I'm sooo excited! I love that place, the people were nice too. Oh and the sun is great... makes me feel good. It's winter here in Ohio, so the suns not out.

> What would you do if you were my doctor, what would you give me?? You'd probably fire me! I probably need to go to this eating disorder place and get some therapy.
> Im just yapping away, I usually do this when I'm borderline depressed.
Hey Sam,Jade here. I was wondering, I believe you said the only Doc you see is a PDoc? Has he/she given you a firm diagnisis or more if that applies? Just trying to get the full picture here. The only therapy you get is from your PDoc? Do you mind sharing how long that lasts per session and how often you see him/her?
Kinda seems like maybe something is missing here that could be beneficial to you, not sure. Could you let me know?
Don't worry, I'm in the same boat, I start with a new PDoc and therapist next week. Yikes!
