Hello everyone! I am the mom of 3 and grandmom of 1. Spent the last 16 months trying to find depression med that worked. Allergic to 3 SSRI/SNRI's. Ended up as a self-admit, (long story another day) for 6 days. The doc there put me on Desipramine, a tricyclic. I have better depression resolution on desipramine than I ever felt I had on the SSRI's. That is good because in this last week I have experienced more panic attacks than the usual occasional ones. I started taking Lyrica for Fibromyalgia, and it is helping with my anxiety and has also helped improve my mood. I take .25-1.0mg prn of Xanax for the panic. Just wish they wouldn't sneak out and get me at such unexpected times. Sometimes I wonder if they have psychiatric service dogs that can sense the onset of an attack-much like the epilepsy service dogs. Just musing a bit after a frustrating week. Fluttering by.... My physical goal is to hike and rappell again. |
