Borderline Personality Disorder.

Diagnosed in September 2018
First suicide attempt May 2018
Total trips to A&E since May = 12

So i'm on Duloxotine 90mg daily since June.
I told them it wasnt working. But it was giving me nightmares.
They kept me on it.

Now they have put me on Mirtazapine to help with the nightmares and sleep.
30mg daily.
But i'm still on duloxotine.

I'm now on a total of 2 anti depressant type meds and i feel both aren't working. No one is listening when I tell them that. And why haven't they tried mood stablisers?

Any insight?

Might be time to find a new doctor.

Usually first line treatment for BPD is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, meds can sometimes help a bit with some symptoms though

I'm not sure about those meds either. I also recommend DBT and anti-anxiety meds for borderline. They helped me.
