Personal experience I can't stand the anti depressants, I took zoloft 5 years ago quit cold turkey and tried to commit suicide. I was again later on advised to take paxil, threw the samples in the trash. Last December I had an incident happen at work which caused me to have post trama disorder. Causing me to be put on Xanax, which was okay at first, but I am still on them, I should of only been on them for 4-6 weeks. Now my body is completely addictied to them, so my doctor wanted to put me on a mood stablelizer, like what they give for seizures, I was uncomfortable with that so against my better judgement I let her put me on effexor, started at 37.5 mg/ day going up to 75 mg, I took it for 2 months, and asked her why I still had high blood pressure, she told me to take 37.5 for one week and quit taking it. Major withdrawls started 2-3 days after taking it now I am on 150 mg of trieptal 2x's per day. Then she wants to put me on neurontin, all of this to get me off xanax. How many pill swithes can one person take? Anyone know about the mood stabilizers that I need to know about before I have more withdrawl symptoms from yet another medication?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
