Have a apointment with doctor in am& Iam going to ask her what kind of doctor she is, because it is clear Iam waste my time going here they haven't yet got me in any cbt class. And they write prescriptions I feel like don't work& vistril is no longer working& I find myself taking the 3pills a day that it says you can take& then I end up suffering through the rest of the night, I either want xanax or ativan back something longer lasting& I only have to take the one. Just very frustrated and frustrating feeling like Iam not getting the right help, I want and need a doctor that will prescribe medicine I know help& keeps me leveled and not what they think is best& want prescribe these things. So I will be finding a new doctor a counselor who spends more then 15 to 30 min sometimes less then that, Iam looking for means to pure deep healing and a doctor that will work with me to help conquer this fear& introduce me to better coping skills because Iam sick& tired of these up& down mood swings &know there has to be way better dang help then what Iam getting. Just want to be better& not lose anymore years tied up in bondage of fears and anger do to what I go through, and a better mind that don't overreact to things or think to dam much.

Dear Soul,

I strongly suggest you talk with folks and find a darn good psychiatrist who knows about the medications used for mental health issues and is willing to work with you.  However, that means you must trust a new physician and try the meds remembering that they may make you feel crappy for the first 44-6 weeks but your body will adjust.

I have been on meds for 30 years and have had to do the trial and error to find the right ones that work for me.

I know what works for me may not work for you however, I will share with you, I use Trazodone 150 mg ( low dose) for sleep and after my second night's dose I have not had insomnia to deal with.  Do I have problems sleeping - occasionally but for 6 years this drug has been a life saver.

My prayers are with you.

Good luck today and remember to be assertive, not aggressive as aggressive will make you feel worse.

Kindly,

Kitt

Hi Soul

I hope you find a doctor who is understanding of your situation soon I have had to change doctors in the past so know what you are going through. I agree with Kitt re finding a psychiatrist as they are the most up to date with all the medications. Good luck

Thanks all for your advice& I may keep this doctor a little longer because she actually made offer to check all my thyroid levels, free T3 &T4 and panel along with calcium level all of it& not just TSH she did this today. So I can have to take to endocrinologist who refused to check this, because I have no thyroid& they say I don't need it. But she was willing to do it so I with doctor can get to bottom of this problem, that cause most of my problems grateful for all of you being here to chat with for this site has been a blessing in my time of true darkness& I finally see some hope.
Because truth is I been feeling like crap& a walking zombie with more then just insomnia, I mean barely able to stand and the 3days I would work pure agony. Thanks again all& for your prayers they are truly getting me through and help tremendously!
