It sounds like you are having a difficult time. I would get back with my pdoc and explain how you are feeling for possible med adjustment. Then with a therapist to get more stable, then help deal with the negative thoughts your mind is feeding you.

I wholly believe it is possible to retrain your brain to a certain extent and has been very helpful for me.

Take good care of you. ((()))

Thanks Flyer. I appreciate it.

I admit I am having a difficult time, and I hate to admit it. I feel weak. I just don't want to have to constantly be upping dosages and/or switching meds if there is something I can do on my own. But I don't know if there is. If the smallest thing is tipping me over, I don't know if there is. There has to be some way to retrain your brain, to some extent. I just feel like I've been very lost in the dark when it comes to that.

I feel very alone.

Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
Latuda, 40mg -- for the paranoia (delusional type).
Adderall, 40mg XR & 5 mg reg -- for the ADD.
Xanax, .5 mg as needed -- for the anxiety.
Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.

MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .

Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.
