Chronic Depression

[dr. d]

Sorry for reviving the thread.

Why you stopped already?

My psychiatrist prescribed me this one, but I bought the cheaper brand.
Will start taking this week, and I'll see her after 2 weeks again.

I'm starting having panic attacks to the point na I feel inaatake sa heart. Lol

Sometimes I just want to pass out but my recent laboratories are fine and even my ECG. Kaya nagpa psychiatrist ako.

in my opinion,
it helps to consult a psychiatrist.
hindi na uso yung "wala sa lahi namin ang sakit na yan! hindi namin kailangan nang psychiatrist!"

over the years,
some psychiatric illnesses have shown to have an organic basis.
it's not "all in the mind".

Medyo ot pero At a farty last sat, I met this dude who was in therapy because of anxiety attacks. Matindi Pala Ang physical manifestations kapag inaatake Siya nun. Delibitating Pala talaga when that happens.

He said it's been diagnosed as brought on by work related stress daw.

Nawala yung symptoms like insomnia, heart palpitations and cold sweat... Months rin inabot yung gamot before I stopped. My insomnia however returned this year. Chronic insomnia naman. My psychiatrist prescribed Clonotril for it. Lasted 4 months. I tapered off the med and now sleeping normally again.

Yung ganitong gamot can be addictive and better tapper off the dosage if you can before stopping.

Clonotril-0.5/Clonotril-2

i have personally experienced the "panic attack".
i had no control over it, even as, in my learned mind, i knew it was just a panic attack.
it felt as real as can be.

I'm so miserable. I don't know how to spend my day anymore.

I polished the hardware of my bag for 5 HOURS straight just to keep myself occupied.

I've been taking Escitalopram for more than a month now. Yesterday and today, I feel so drained and just want to sleep.
Kagabi nag panic attack din ako, felt cold inside and sweat. Happened to me before naman so alam ko na hindi ibang sakit.

Took alprazolam and slept well last night.
Ang hirap lang din!

I think I need professional help already. My mood swings are getting worse. One day I am happy then the next I am miserable. I am scared to take meds because it's alters the brain diba? I watch a lot of Forensic Files and Crime documentaries and I saw an episode where a teenager killed his own family, only explanation nila was he abruptly stopped a mental health related drug. One side effect yung hallucinations kasi the kid was telling na the devil or whatever entity pushed him to kill his family

Yeah it does make you sometimes sleepy & lethargic. One thing I like about that meds is that it gives me very lucid dreams.

Boredom, the devil's playground.

Yep, boredom ... Get a job soon or a hobby or wax neighbor's cars ...
