Anxiety Dpression Insomnia

Updated

in2007 i was in horrible anxiety i would pace for hours a doctor gave me cymbalta i d stop pacing but still with anxiety.the causes are my mothers health. failures in life. a neighbor who drove a extremely loud motorcycle around his yard for hours.They also mowed early in the day and have aloud truck constantly waking me up. Mental problems run on my mothers side of the family my father was the opposite he was the strongest person ive ever known ,the only thing he feared was getting cancer. Guess what he died of. My mother had been taking gabopentin desperate i tried one and it calmed me down completly ive tried many drugs and nothing has come close. Later my mother was in the nursing home with parkinsons and i was in danger of loosing money and my house there was gabopentin left i started taking it and it worked wonders. it made me acertive contoroled anxiety and the oddest thing was i needed very little sleep but felt normal.i had only two hours sleep and picked up my mother in a snow storm and drve wide awake. there was days where i only needed one hour a day but didnt feel high in any way. once i only had six hours in a week. no adverse side affects this is a wonder drug. but doctors wont presciribe it for my problem. Mother had that docters who did but no others. I want to try to get my docter to prescribe the drug for me but i certainly cant tell him how i found about it. maybe i can tell him that my mother was taking it and coiuld he prescribe it forme. But its hrad for me to be deceitful. what should i do. Im extremely tired and upset right now

Have you considered just consulting a mental health professional? They would be best qualified to help you with the type of issues you are experiencing and they would also be the most qualified to find the right medication(s) to deal with it.

Most regular physicians are reluctant to prescribe medications for such issues, because they are not specially trained to treat these types of problems.

My psych doctor prescribed them to me. I told her that is what my mom was taking and it seemed to help her so id like to try it and she started me on 300 in morning and 300 night. I feel pretty good. I am also on latuda and trazadone. Good combo. I've felt like a guinea pig for years! I'm finally ok with my meds for now. Still have a lil anxiety but who don't.
I used to get weird or bad dreams on the trazadone but my dose got lowered. I wish you luck. A closed mouth don't get fed
