I'm not fully sure of my "full" dx. I know pdoc said major depression, panic disorder,paranoia, and agoraphobia. He said I have a long list of dx's. I just can't remember them at this point. I'm a mess I guess. I have been dealing with mental illness since around 1993. I am 31 years old.
First, I'll start with the meds I'm on and go from there. Depakote 1000mgs, Effexor 300 mgs., Zanax XR 6mgs, Geodon 180 mgs.
What I can't stop is the urges to SI. I am not liking the weight gain, but don't want to 'bother' the dr. I feel like just stopping the depakote w/o his approval at this point. Is there another alternative that anyone knows of that won't pack on the fat? Should I wait it out and see how it goes? I've only been on the Depakote a week or so. I think I'm getting more depressed about the weight gain. I was on Seroquel and that made me gain too. I was on Topamax but I was on it for 3 years and I don't think the effect was there anymore. I feel like I have exhausted all resources now.
Sorry for such a long post I'm desparate right now.
Thanks in advance!
