What you say to me when i come on here for a moan? "o for god sake" go to the doctors tell them whats going on.. come of the mood stabalizer, its all anxiety taking over linkadge plse plse go to the doctor, i went through the same thing with you, i fealt as if my life wasnt worth living, i gave my daughter to my mother, locked all doors, took the fone out of the wall, so wanted to be left alone, think it was just a depressive state, i think i am coming out of it now, i am not sure, i fear the worst all the time.. plse plse dont give up, go to the doctors write down everything... and remember when you quit an ssri that helped then stat it again it dont usually work a second time.. so plse get smething else...

I'm going to go back on lithium for now. Perhaps I can add something to augment it later.
The last time I went off celexa and onto lithium, I was totally euphoric, believe it or not.
I'm going to try lithium and tegrotol.
THe real problem is not the treatment it is that I keep jumping from pill to pill. I think what I've been doing is living off a continous placebo effect.
I really liked lithium the first time I took it, but I stopped because I got scared of the kidney dammage risk.
I stopped SSRI's because of the test tube brain tumor link.
Anyhow, I've got to stick to something or I will not have much brain left for anything.

A group of scientists in Brittain found that ssris prevented the natural tumor destruction process, in test tube. Althoug this does not necessarily equate to human risk, it freaked the heck out of me.
I have this thought in the back of my head that I can't shake. If I go off meds i am terrible, but on antidepressants, part of my brain says you are using them to try and get high or feel better than normal. Because of this I feel religiously guity at times. I go off meds to try and proove to myself that I really do need them and that I'm not just doing this for kicks. My brain doesn't listen to me. I think I might have some sort of dysphoic mania. I had none of these thoughts the first time I was on lithium.
Hope it works again.Linkadge

awwww linkadge, dont believe the crap about the tumour... sheeeesh i dont ... have you spoken to the physc about whats going on with you? i am sort of like that, i dont know, i am that thick i couldnt put a name to it like you.. but i will be telling my physc when i finally get an appointment hopefully soon (been 10mtnhs) we'll see, i am kind of paranoid that she will give me an ssri too, i hate them cus they all raised my bp and hrt rate to much, sent me to manic, i havent taken all of them but still i have taken aboput 5 different ones so i suppose they will all do the same.. anyways , i hope you can feel comfortable enough to speak to your phsyc or even doc.. the meds are f****** with your brain, maybe you need a break from them..... i dont know.. i so hope you will be ok soon...
keep me posted...
your friend Donna

3rd day on lithium, fish oil, and some very exhausting exercise.
If I had the time to exercise 4 hours a day I migh not need any medication at all.
