Well I need some advice.

I'll be soon on Prozac 20mg, Klonopin 0.25mg and Solian(Amisulpride) 50mg. I also take a med called pacetane 2mg(trihexyphenidyl) for akathasia. I am experiencing depression, panic attacks and general anxiety about the future. I have very low energy and attention and memory problems.

My boyfriend again stopped talking to me. He was supposed to come to India in February where I am located and make arrangements(fiance visa etc) to take me out to USA. This has somewhat numbed me and made me very sad and hopeless.

Do you guys think I will be on the right medication? I am very very sad and feeling helpless and hopeless. I need support.

Desiree2006, based on your own experience, do you think these medications are making it easier for you to do what you think needs to be done in the days and weeks ahead, or are they making it harder?

I am not yet on Prozac, earlier on Prozac did help me to get out of bed but it did cause a bit of restlessness too, maybe I would need to take the pacetane twice a day instead of once to deal with the akathasia. I think I would need the Prozac, I'm having problem accepting the fact that my boyfriend may have dumped me! Moreover I'm in a very toxic environment where I have to struggle to survive each day. I'm already on the amisulpride... it helps to prevent a psychotic breakdown and the klonopin which helps with panic disorder.

Desiree, I am sorry you are feeling sad and hopeless...

I do not take meds as they don't work for me at all and make me feel worse.

I am sorry your boyfriend has gone silent again. I hope he will bounce back in time to visit.

Can you say more..

Love and appreciation to all on the AS IS bus

I've always loved this bus since so many lovely and non judgmental people travel on here, and non judgmental and kind people seem to be rare in the offline world.

''all about efficiency and money'' ..

If you had the power to go back and talk to the younger little turtle, what would you tell him?

my first reaction is to get the hell out of that psychiatry...it was a killer for me...

and i could add....be on ssdi...live in a trailer...open a free clinic and help people
by talking....and lifestyle medicine.....no drugs

very good question fuzzy.....i would tell him to leave fame and fortune behind....
at my 2 mental health clinics i was not appreciated.....i refused to see a person
every 15 minutes....and i didn't push the drugs......the administration did not like that.....they wanted me out of there......finally they found doctors that would replace me and do as they said......i was 65 and able to retire before they
kicked me out....they were no longer interested in keeping me....i am very sad and angry still about what happened.....
