It comes in waves. Sometimes I can talk myself out of going with the thoughts(if that makes sense) but most of the time the thoughts lead into more and more. "My co workers dont like when I talk about "whatever" , when I leave they talk about me. They hate me, and they arent telling me" This is now when I pickup the phone and ask said co worker "do you not like me". This is just a small example. On a bad day the thoughts can consume my entire day. This was what made me seek help, thinking I had anxiety. The Lexapro I was given made me so much worse after they doubled the dose. My doctor gave me two choices to pick from in the beginning after explaining all that goes on, from my mood to my thoughts.

I chose Lexapro, now he is saying that when people with unstable moods take an anti depressant/anxiety med alone, it can trigger the moods to be more wacky(lack of a better word).

Im sitting here now on Lamictal, waiting for my next appt on the 30th feeling confused as hell!! What is wrong with me and why am I being taken over my these obsessive /paranoid thoughts! No diagnosis, just a spectrum I "may" fall on.
