I finally saw psych after my one month wait. I can't recall any words, just the face of someone scolding me, shaking his finger at me. I had told him I was having the panic attacks, and let him know I would not go higher on Eff-XR, since now at 225. I have called to complain about the way I was treated. He gave me a scrip for .5mg Xanax x3, and reduced (I think) my Klonopin to 1mg x3 a day, and was ranting, so that I couldn't understand about Effexor-XR. I didn't take my dose yesterday. Today I am very ILL. I am dropping letters in my words - and as a profession I was a medical transcriber and insurance transcriber w/ excellent English. The chemical compound, I believe, in Eff-XR, is very strong. But, rather than giving a person with borderline personality disorder an anti-anxiety medication (a "HORRIBLE" benzo), they'd have you take this strong chemical. Why is that??? I WENT TO DBT, BUT HAVING TROUB' LEARNING, ATTN, REMEMBERING. That is the other issue I brought up to my raving psychiatrist; feeling dulled or stupid, yet he only asked whether anyone in my fam' was ADD (said no), and that was it. NOT EVEN KNOWING THE CRITERIA, I KNOW THAT IS NOT THE ONLY ONE! Sending out an S.O.S. I'm so scared. I don't understand up from down. I have no one to turn to. Why is DBT so hard for me? ANY DBT PEEPS OR DANCING STAR, PLS CONTACT ME. MESSENGER WOULD BE GOOD. I'M NOT DOING WELL AT ALL. On my behalf, I will have to leave my familiar clinic and get a new psychiatrist, and another, and another, until someone treats me respectfully! Will take what little GUMPTION I've lost or given away. I ASK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR PRAYERS. Yeah, I know I'm being needy ... please share, and maybe something I say will help one of you some day. coraneedstobefree, cf
