> Is there absolutely no way to get into an area with a shrink? could you get a lift from someone? I am not famliiar with small towns but would there be a support group you could locate in your area? This must be very difficult. Have you tried effexor? It kindof has a bad rep (side effects) I think but I think it is good for depression and anxiety.
> RainHi Rain,
If I could answer yes to any of your questions, I would not be here. I even went to NIMH to look for resourses, and found none. I am intolerant of most medications, which really sucks. I've tried every anti-psychotic on the market, but I cannot tolerate them. First I get a sick feeling all over, and have to lay down. That is quickly followed by vomiting, and cold sweats. And I get the shakes for days after I cease taking them. The only medications I seem to be able to tolerate are Neurontin, and Xanax. Neurontin for the Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet. I have had cancer twice, and have lost 5 organs, the last was my right kidney to renal cell. I have high blod pressure which is under control with a beta blocker, and marginal cholesterol. But I have a healthy heart, and I plan to keep it that way. Last spring when my car died, I weighed a whopping 243 pounds. Well, I put my fat behind on a bike and started riding. At first, I thought it would kill me. I thought I was out of my mind. I rode a mile and had to stop 5 times to rest. But I kept on. I rode every day, and by the end of the summer I had lost 35 pounds, and I feel better physically than I have in 10 years.
