I was handling things pretty well. Getting care for migraines, dealing with a TLE dx, getting on proper meds for all that. PTSD reared its ugly head in September and I found a great therapist who works in somatic experiencing and I am willing to give that a shot.

Anxiety and panic attacks were really holding me back. The panic attacks wwere daily and I was having them while driving, one causing me to drive through a red light at an intersection. I really couldn't carry on with day to day life and all the coping skills in the world really weren't making a dent.

I was on a high dose of a mood stabilizer so I asked my presciber for a starter dose of celexa.

Now I just don't sleep. Constant migraine, constant racing thoughts Since day 2 of taking it. I took klonopin for so many years that im pretty much tolerant of it and xanax gives me awful mood swings.

Really fed up right now. Eff PTSD and moods.

It sounds like you're having a set back, but remember, this is the up and down of these disorders. I'm a little hypomanic right now, but coming out of a near full-blown manic phase. It was scary and felt like it would last forever, but it didn't. You'll come back down to normal, it just feels like it might be forever, but it won't be.

I'm sorry you're going through PTSD, that must be horrible. Maybe you could try to do something to distract yourself from your thoughts. Take advantage of your manic energy and make it something positive!
