Lamictal, depakote... oh my!

Benzo with drawl is total destruction.. worst drug ive ever had to quit taking by miles..... I quit going to that dr who prescribed me such a high dose.. he should have to go through the detox and see how that feels.... just be weary of Xanax.. klonopin.. valuem... they become addicting (talking physical dependence for me that I didn't have a clue I had).. u have to take more to get the same effect. .... which leads to a much more horrible detox... just Google benzo detox. .. anyway gl

I'm not a fan of either! I prefer Lithium.

It was May 14, 2013 when years of anxiety just seem to compound and I sort of unraveled for no reason. No reason. That's the date on a medical bill from the emergency room. Since then it has progressively gotten worse.

Maybe I should have seen it coming. I haven't really worked in a couple of years, except for a home side job. Over the past few years I've also pushed everyone away except my husband. And I tried really hard to that. Lol

It seems all the doctors can do is sedate me. The benzos make me so sleepy, all I want to do is sleep.
I can still drive as long as I take enough xanax to sedate a horse. Haha.

I try to look on the bright side and be thankful I don't have some awful physical disease.
But when I get depressed, bipolar feels pretty terminal to me.

Well I'll only take a benzo if my anxiety is completely out of control. I'm already sleepy too much as is so I will use them as emergency only. My pdoc prescribed me Vistaril and I'm not entirely sure if it's addictive so I'll have to look into that. I don't need any more addictions.
