I'm diagnosed clinical depression, but my pdoc says he calls double depression. I'm stuck in a low mood normally but we have to keep me out of the lower one where I want to walk in front of a semi or something.

I also get anxiety or panic attacks with known and unknown triggers.

I started posting on the other forum in the bipolar section as there was no depression forum and made friends there. I also live with 2 bipolar people both with ocd and anxiety attacks.

You all were so helpful when my significant other was hallucinating and we found out it was his cough medication plus the benidril a friend gave him. I was up all night retrieving lit cigs from under the bed. Also he complained about the marching band going through our room. We won't use that combo again.

They have him on depakote and a bunch of others at the moment I can hardly keep up so I have it all written down in his wallet and my purse. It was his medication causing the pitting adema it took almost a year of his being almost double his usual weight to find that out and a bunch of tests as the pdoc wouldn't admit that the meds he was could have him retain that much fluid. We changed pdocs and the new one changed his meds and within a few weeks back to normal.

That is about the time my putor crashed and you all were trying to help me figure out which meds could cause the swelling as the ones he was on weren't supposed to. Turns out they can in some people, very few and he was one of the very few. I wish I could remember which one it was. They have tried so many. His records were conveniently lost when we changed pdocs. So were mine and my daughter's(she is adhd and also suffers from depression).

Right now we are waiting to get my other's son into the pdoc, we finally got him through intake and diagnosed with the bipolar and ocd plus anxiety, but no meds yet. Been a long process.
