I've been on many meds the last two years and nothing have worked really good for my Social phobia, depression and undiagnosed add. Me and my last psydoc didn't get along very good and my next appointment is in about a month with a new doc.
For now i've been selfmedicating, my father is a doctor but not a pd. So i do have little support but not much. My current drug regime is what i've put togetter through trial and error but i'm always afraid that this could go wrong.
Tramadol sr 200mg (mild snri+mild opioid agonist)
Selegiline 2.5mg (dopamine+phenylethylamine increase)
Alprazolam 1mg (benzo agonist+serotonin release)Sometimes more tramadol but never over 400mg/24 hours.
Those are daily. I also take.
Propranolol for stagefright.
Zopiclone/Triazolam/Hydroxyzine for sleep.
Codeine everything from nothing (mostly) to 300mg/day (rarly).I don't take anything to not function. I REALLY do just want to feel normal.
All i wanted from my last pd was an maoi or something for my severe social phobia but i've been so afraid to addmitting this mental disease because the nature of it. And when i brought it up he didn't belive me because i've been talking to him kinda frealy and about my depression. But i have a servere case where i do completely isolate myself from other people and don't have a chance of dating or anything. Getting on a bus or shopping is like hell. Even writing on a messageboard would have been really hard to do even when i'm sort of anonymous.
The secret to me beeing able to talk to him is becase i ALWAYS load up on opiates every time i must go to the doctor so when he tries to se how i look it isn't the real me. I did tell him this kinda.
Then he said "we've tried all there's nothing more, you don't need a med". I was stunned. So this is my life i'm 21 now and i'm going to have to live with my parents my whole life?? Yipee.. suicide dosen't sound to bad after all.
What do you guys and girls think? Could this go awry? I don't have a problem getting the meds because my dad, i don't need another doc for that. I'm very well informed about meds more so than most pdocs it seems, but this medecine soup IS bugging me without real medical support.
Anyone have any similar experience with this combo or any other good drugs for severe sp? Oops i almost forgot saying the combination works wonders for sp! But is it safe.. :/
