Hi..I am new here with lots of questions
Hi
I just joined. I am really confused. I have ptsd and depression. 2 months ago I started on Paxil, then 2 weeks ago I tried to overdose and they gave me Zoloft, I dont sleep because of nightmares and the sleeping pills were to strong for me so they gave me Elevil to take before bed.
Anyway I take a Zoloft in the morning, a Paxil in the evening and a Elevil at night. I am sort of a walking zombie right now.
I dont function very well because I just dont seem to care lately. I am dizzy sometimes, always shaky and still get flashbacks and nightmares and panic attacks.
I keep asking my doctor if this isnt too much but she says no and tells me only to consider quitting counselling and get a life.
Being as I am usually confused and scared she did not help me with that comment.
Anyone got an opinion on this??
Thanks ..
Jackie

Hi Jackie and welcome to the club. I’m surprised your doctor told you to quit counselling. That doesn’t sound very comforting or professional. I’m not sure why they’ve prescribed so many different drugs for you. You’ve only been taking A/D medications for 2 months and that’s not near long enough to run the gamut of trying one drug at a time first.
You don’t say what your ptsd is from. Would it help to talk about it? You don’t have to, but it might help if you could discuss
it.
I don’t know if it would work for you, but Effexor has taken care of not only my depression, but panic attacks and sleep problems, as well. Discuss this drug with your dr. From the sounds of it you might even want to seek out a new dr. The one you have doesn’t sound like she’s not giving you as much support as you need.
