I'm taking geodon,(which is making my anxiety so much worse), and upped my lamictin (which I thought would help my rapid cycling but I don't know what its doing). I can't go into hospital because I just went in January(my insurance won't pay) and I am going for a forth opinion with a new pdoc in 2 weeks. Hopefully I get some answers, (and survive until then with my mood swings!) if not, I just don't know Just reading everyone's posts though helps a lot, and keeps my mind off my situation. So thanks everyone for keeping me going in what seems to be the lowest point in my life. I appreciate all the advice and support
Fourth opinion? You are a persistent and determined person. Both are good qualities in seeking the help that works for you. I say this from personal experience. Just do not be quick to judge the next pdoc. Try to be patient. Once you make your decision, I think it takes at the very least several months to determine if you have made the right decision. This is just my opinion.
