I'm Schizotypal, BPD and Mild Bi-polar with GAD hah a I know alot..
Hi, Awhile back my pdoc prescribed Ativan along with my other meds for anxiety. I hated it...it made me foggy and I had memory issues. Also, I noticed on it I became severely depressed. I developed tolerance and had to keep increasing my dose... I just went off of it and the withdrawals are terrible. Antihistamines tend to trigger depression as well. My doc has now put me on Vistaril and Gabapentin instead. Has anyone here taken Benzos or Vistaril and it made their depression worse? It seems with Bi-olar and BPD the balance between falling into mania or depression can get out of wack with certain meds...for me antidepressants are horrible Esp cause I have BPD as well. I also take Seroquel and Lamictal... __________________ ~ how faint is the heartbeat that constantly craves..never satisfied..hungry..racing thoughts..waiting for the storm after the calm~ ME Diagnosis: Bi-polar 2, Generalized Anxiety, Trichotillomania and Skin picking disorder, Schizotypal and Borderline Personality disorder Meds: Seroquel 300 mg, Lamictal 200 mg, Gabapentin 300 mg and Vistaril as needed __________________  ~ how faint is the heartbeat that constantly craves..never satisfied..hungry..racing thoughts..waiting for the storm after the calm~ ME Diagnosis: BPD 2 with mixed states, Cyclothymia, GAD, Trichotillomania and Skin picking disorder, some OCD tendencies Meds: Abilify 30mg ,Lithium 600 per day, gabapentin 600mg, Zoloft 100 mg, remeron 7.5mg |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
