Have you been looked at for bi-polar disorder? Sounds like you went froma mild mania phase to a depressed phase.Depression and anxiety usually go hand in hand and feed off each other. Usually hard to determine which one is the main agitator.

I'm bipolar, dealing with depression for a looooong time (almost 5 years), and I have problems with panic with the main symptom being shortness of breath. And I have felt suicidal too many times to count. So, just wanted to tell you that you are not alone. Definitely not. I wish I could help. Please hang in there.

crazychick:
Are you in the UK? I only ask because you say you've been waiting to see a PDoc. Mine told me that suicidal ideation was *normal*, but luckily the Effexor has given me control over those thoughts.
Sounds like you *really* need a friend that you can talk to who will not be judgemental and just listen. Try to be cool with your daughter and keep telling yourself that you want to be around to see her *tomorrow*. Do this every day and pretty soon you'll have weeks and months behind you.
We're here to support you. Chill as much as you can. Take care,
TR

Is it Remeron you are taking? Sounds like you may need a mood stabilizer. I have noticed some of your other posts and you are struggling alot with ups and downs( as I do) I am Bipolar II and am currently trying Trileptal with an AD. I have already been on several other mood stabilizers but am trying to find the one that I will respond to best. Please seek out a doctor that will give you the proper diagnosis. There are so many meds out there that can help so there is no need to go on suffering. BTW, I am a 35 yr. old mother of two small children and just want you to know that you are not alone in your frustration especially trying to deal with fluctuating moods and the demands of a child. For yours and your daughters sake look into trying a mood stabilizer (ie. Depakote, Lamictal, Tegretol, Lithium, etc.)Best of luck to you. -Stacey

> Donna> Don't know if I can offer much help, but I sure am a member of your club. Except I seem to pay for 1 good day with several bad ones. I've tried so many meds I feel like a lab rat. Benzos are the only thing that helps the agitation/anxiety which is often so overwhelming I can't get myself to work or get there, freak out and have to race home. (Thank god I have an understanding,patient boss). All I can really say is keep knocking on doors until you find someone/something that can help. I spent all day at work today saying "I have to go home or I'll lose it" then 10 minutes later I'd say " No I can handle it, I'll stay" . With the help of some extra xanax I made it through a 12 hour work day. Small victory, but better than last week when I had to leave 3 days. Just don't ever give up hope...you have to have something to hang on to. The answer is out there somewhere. Best of luck to you, I know just how you feel. Worrier.
