Mental Health - December 2006

Ambien 10 mg works, but I have to stop taking it because it is addictive. I then tried Trazodone (1/2 pill), but I still woke up in the night. Afraid to try more than 1/2 pill of Trazodone since next day I felt very groggy and felt like I was hallucinating. Tried Tylenol PM, but still woke up in the night. Has anyone else with insomnia caused by Cymbalta tried Lunesta or Rozerem or anything else that works?

I am convinced that my "mental health issues" are directly related to my hormones. I am 40 and done having children. Anyone heard of such a thing?

My wife has recently been diagnosed as bipolar. She was on Risperdal and something else for a couple weeks but her family practioner took her off of it because of the bad side effects she was having. She then put her on an anti-depressant. My wife took this for a couple weeks but since she has quit taking the risperdal and other drugs prescribed by her psychiatrist she is slowly getting worse and worse. She has now quit taking the anti-depressant and is taking something from GNC that is supposed ot be a natural anti-depressant. She seems lifeless and emotionless. I try to talk to her and she just ignores me or gives me hardly any conversation back. When she was on the first meds she was doing really good and really understood how bad she was before she started taking her meds. How can I get her back to that way?how can I get her back on her meds? Please help out with a way to talk to her to let her know how and why I think she needs to take her meds and see a doctor regularly.

19months ago I met a boy over the internet (let’s call him Erik). I’m from South America and he’s from Germany and little by little,we fall in love. He cares about me and he treats me like a princess but months ago I started to feel bad because I realized that this was a very unusual relationship and I thought that I was being immature 4 being 23years old and feeling “love”-like a teenager- for someone I had never even seen in real life, so we “broke up”-against Erik’s will- and I tried to forget him by dating boys here, and I met this sweet boy (“John”) and I liked him. I felt very good with John, he is a gentleman and everything was ok but after some time,I began to subconsciously compare the 2boys.I was always looking at John flaws;I think I was unfair because since maybe I had idealized Erik.Then 1day Erik called me and told me that he didn’t want to lose me;he wanted to marry me so he’d come to my country in February to meet me...

I am confused -- I was raped 6 years ago ands was diagnosed with PTSD a few months after that -- I thought i was getting better then I was having bad times again last year. What is strange is that I am no longer afraid of the man who did it - or that HE will hurt me. It is just that I am afraid it will happen again by someone else - or someone else will try to harm me. I had some weird phone calls last night - they called and said they were looking for me - and i said i was the one speaking and they hung up - i was alone and didn't sleep all night - it this still PTSD? The doctor said so last year - but i am starting to wonder because i don't worry about the man from 6 years ago -- just my safety now....

thanks...

Can you go to your regular physician to talk about medicinal options for emotional problems? Or is that something only a psychiatrist can prescribe?

My question was deleted because Yahoo think that my question is not a question or answer. So "Am I a guy or bisexual?" is what, if it is not a question. It already has a question mark on it. I am very humble to listen any Oxbridge scholar to tell me why it is not a question? Can Yahoo elaborate it?

One of my long time friends recently got married and went in to rehab for pill, pot and alcohol addiction -- this is after he started having seizures due to diet pills that he wouldn't tell his Doctors or anyone else he was taking.

He avoided me (I drink beer and would be a horrible influence on him) for almost a year and I assumed he made other friends in AA and rehab. No problem there.

A week ago I got an email inviting me to his birthday party that he is throwing for himself. He stated specifically "I will be opening presents, hint, hint." He has always been narcistic, but I thought it was pretty funny that he's almost 40, throwing a party for himself, and doesn't want anything to do with me unless I bring him a gift.

I didn't go, but my brother went to eat for free. A total of five people showed up (one being his wife and two others were his parents) for his "party" -- brunch and miniature golf.

Has anyone been through this? How do you feel it has effected your life? What (if anything) has eased your suffering?

I've been on a combo of Wellbutrin and Ativan (on an as needed bases) for two months now. The Adivan was perscribed while I was inpatient,they never bothered to tell me it was a controlled substance and addictive. The psyc person I see now doesn't like me on it, so he switchd me to Paxil so I can take it all the time. Now I'm having trouble sleeping, nausea and headaches. Any ideas on how to help these side effects? Any ideas about why I would be put on two antidepressents at the same time?
