so stressed and restless. It's a crucial time in my life right now to get things done, but my wrong med combo has me in shackles. My damn p-doc has screwed things up with me. Lexapro and risperdal have been a nightmare from hell. Now I have to go through the trouble of switching p-docs and waiting several months before the damn lexapro and risperdal get outta my system and the new meds getting in. The wait is hell. Anyways I'm gonna tell the next p-doc take me off risperdal and lexapro, and add lithium and possibly wellbutrin. Does wellbutrin help with social anxiety? No ssri's have ever helped me. I don't respond to them well. The reason I want on lithium is bc of my anger outbursts and depression. I also need a drug that will help with my social anxiety that is not a ssri. Are there any others out there?

Sorry your having such a rough time with finding a good med combo. Do you have a T that can help you coping with all the problems ?
I hope things improve for you very soon.

I guess I got a little ahead of myself right there. One of my impulsive actions. I guess I'll stick it out for a little and stay with this p-doc

You need to see your current pdoc immediately & advise of the anger outbursts and anxiety. Current pdoc can deal with this--you don't have to wait for new pdoc, you need to improve working relationship with the one you have. Slow down, deep breath, describe as calmly as you can how you feel, how bad it is, what help you need.
Don't panic with pdoc. Tell pdoc you will work with him/her--but you must be a team and you must make progress. These drugs are not the best possible for you ... and that is the only acceptable goal. Call tomorrow. Go sit in the waiting room. Remain calm & quiet, but make it clear that you need a professional helping you now. roadie |

I agree with roadie. Go see your current pdoc ASAP and try to work out the problems. Make sure you tell them it's not working and you need to try something different.
Best of luck Clint

Definitely contact your pdoc ASAP. Good luck with it, finding the right meds is hard work. I think I wrote in another thread that I have a friend on tricyclics for anxiety.
