Ah, well.
Im still waiting, but I really dont want to go to a psychiatrist.
Why? Because I have high standards on privacy.
They already know so much about me, and I dont want them know my thoughts
I can just say my head is messed up, i cantbe happy again, without actually going deeper into the subjects of the anxiety? Because hell, if your sick you cant have anything to youraelf anymore?
I believe its just not the way it should go.

I think "coping" with these problems are not an option. Thats what my neurologist said: its so you can talk about it. But thats not gonna help, because i talk about it everyday. But it doesnt help. This morning, i just had a feeling of intense anger, and i truly no idea why!
If these medicne caused me to poop my pants everyday, would they give me daiper?

@4 eyes, but there is no wound. Wish there was, then we could try and deal with it.

And anyway, im sure the problems are caused by the meds. I also have high bloodsugar, high cholesterol, all the cushing peoblems imaginable.
Whether it does or does not go away when stopping these meds, I dont know.
But if it wont go away, and the medicine caused irriversible damage, then my life would be over.

I am sorry you are suffering. That anger, is justified. There are times in a persons life to feel that way.
I don't blame you for wanting to keep some of your thoughts to yourself. It is hard enough thinking them. In this case, because you don't know what really is going on with the medications, that more than the psych evaluation, is really the reason to bring this profession on board. I don't enjoy talking to someone about private issues either. However if my meds. had something to do with how I felt, I would agree to go that route. I wish I could support you more in some mannor. I am here for you Raven, and I do feel your distress and pain. There are people who do care about you, and I am one. I hope this day brings some comfort to you. ginnie

Hello,

Just wanted to add my thoughts and experience of benzos since that was the initial topic.

Im at the tail end of a very long and even more painful taper from various benzos. In a few weeks, I'll be completely off after over 12 years.

Benzos are not meant to be prescribed for over a couple of weeks and they have an extremely high potential for addiction. Some people can terminate them with only minor difficulty. And then there are those of us who suffer enormously.

I would urge you not to go down that path. They will just make everything much worse.

I'm sorry you suffer.
