So I've been having really bad anxiety/panic attacks. My doctor had me on Welbutrin, Hydroxyzine, and Xanax. Well the Welbutrin ended up giving me negative side effects. Instead of decreasing my anxiety I was up for 3/4 days straight wired not being able to sleep. My legs would shake when I did actually sleep. My panic was worse than ever, I was in fear of everything and everyone. So with my doctors permission I stopped taking the Welbutrin. She wanted to find something else.
I've been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, and Anxiety/Panic Disorder as well as Depression.
At the moment my severe symptoms are Anxiety/Panic.. it gets to a really manic phase. Where my mind will race rapidly with these terrible thoughts.. somethings that have happened... something that have never happened that I fear will for no reason. I start to get scared. When I'm visiting my mom for instance or a best friend.. I'll randomly have an attack and be scared of them and my surroundings for no reason and have to leave. In my own apartment I'll feel the same way. There's nothing specific that causes this. But it's always at it's worse. I can't even watch something simple on television such as The Disney Channel without getting an attack.
I've been to the ER on several occasions because I couldn't control the physical symptoms and my heart was extremely irregular from these attacks. I'm a 21 year old female and severely over weight due to the past medications that I have tried. All of this have put me into severe depression because I fear that I can't over come this, and it's really the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I feel hopeless.
So my doctor prescribed me with Hydroxyzine 50 MG, Zyprexa 7.5, and Alprazolam 2MG.
I got these on Thursday and it's now Saturday morning and I'm petrified on taking these so I haven't start yet I'm in fear of a bad reaction.
The person who prescribes these medications is only a physician that is licensed to prescribe medication. She not an actual psychiatrist.
Based on the emotional symptoms I have described do you think that these particular medications are a good match for me?
Any information, thoughts or advice would be really helpful for me.
Thank you.
