I cant, i feel im going to just, everything is so out of order in my house, i feel i have, i cant even sit down and think. Plus something on top of that i think about my inner problems.
Im pacing the house after work, thinking of my inner core problems why i cant seem to reale to people, i feel everyone is against me at work, i got written up for saying provactive stuff. I dont know how to relate to people and it hurts so bad. I came home and just crashed.
I need to ask my doctor if Lamicial, or something, increase the Prozac or something.
I see things in my house that i think im cant handle. Plus this has increased my smoking for anxiety, which has decreased my desire to work out. And breathe.
What the heck am i going to do?

It sounds to me as though you might benefit from a mood stabilizer in addition to the Prozac, and perhaps a short course of an antipsychotic such as Zyprexa to help calm the racing thoughts until the mood stabilizer has taken effect. You might find that you're able to connect with people better when your mood is stable and your thoughts are coming at a steady pace?

Im on Zyprexa 2.5mg MAYBE i need to move to 10mg.
Or Lithium.....I dont know something.
Increase on the Prozac?
First of all i have heard that increasing Prozac is a good thing for OCD, well actually i took 40mg one time, right now im on 30mg, i went bezurk! i was looking around thinking i cant handle this, it increased racing thoughts, anxiety, as far im concerned Prozac increases anxiety for me, but more energy. I do like it when im with Friends and i am manic on Prozac, i am so much fun.
But that doesnt have to do with the thing where talking about, i just dont know how to, just when i do it, go and try to clean and find things, i go nuts, i seriously do. I CANT take it, i have to go smoke a ciggarette.
Maybe i need to take Dexedrine, but i cant because my doctor doesnt want me on stimulants.
Just hope for me that i will come to my senses nad tell my doctor whats going on.
Matt

Maybe try 5mg first and see how you respond?
>Increase on the Prozac?
Maybe not until your racing thoughts have calmed down.
>Maybe i need to take Dexedrine, but i cant because my doctor doesn't want me on stimulants.
It doesn't sound as though you need stimulants.
>Or Lithium.....I dont know something.
Yes, Lamictal or lithium might be a good idea.

Ok. Things look hard for you at the moment. Stop. Relax...with the aid of benzo's...up to 8mg/day Xanx for instance.
In order of importance write down what you have to address. Tackle one thing at a time, and delegate tasks to friends.
But get relaxed first....via benzos.

Bro, I have never related to people well. I have always been the 'weirdo' and outcast. Only ever related to those with mental illness and other people who don't fit into the defined social paramaters. I embrace this fact now, but it used to hurt.
One thing I guarantee you: Someone in your whole life have accepted you the way you are. For me it was no one for a long long time. Then I feel accepted by me, then by my family, now by a few more.
I don't know what remedy to offer here: just keep on truckin' my man! NEVER give in!

>I really would get on a benzo ASAP, then would consider more powerful meds than those mentioned, perhaps a atypical at a low dose: they really can do wonders.

> What the heck am i going to do?1. SLOW down: use benzo's
2. Write down all problems: EVERYTHING
3. Get any support..
4. NEVER GIVE IN!!!!!!!!!!!!Ace!
