1st Post Confused/bewildered/lost

Postby devildawg » Tue Sep 25, 2018 9:37 pm

I am new here havn't been diagnosed yet I am going to psych dr on Thursday because my gp has tried all he could and there could be underlying factors to what is going on. I have PTSD and Depression. to me it is awful hard acting like everything is fine at work and it wears me out, I just don't know what to do. I will go for a while and everything is going good then **BAM** $#%^ goes to hell and I hate everyone in site. I am confused about what is going on with myself hopefully thusday I will find something out and can get some kind of control of if.
right now I am taking
klonipin .5mg
Respridol not sure on this one but think it might be like .1 or .5mg
Cymbalta 30mg

Funny thing is I took the res and cym before bed last night at about 1am and about 1pm this afternoon bam my mood took a dive so I grabbed a klonipin which help a lil.

Is it always this bad when you are trying to figure out what is goin on?

Sorry to hear that you're going through this. It's rough until you find the right thing that works for you. It can take some time to finally get a medication or set of medications that work just right, but it's worth the time and effort.

Well I went to therapist I don’t know if he qualified to diagnose me but he referred me to a mental health facility, but any way I talked with him with my wife and what he told me was I have textbook bipolar with sleep deprivation and ptsd. I hate the word textbook when being told what I have. But any way he referred me to a Dr in okc that will go more in depth with what is going on and what meds I need to take. I was hoping to get my meds straighten out today so frustrating but I guess that’s the process that I have to go through. **BABY STEPS** **BABY STEPS** but I think my a$$ will be sore by the time I learn to walk.
