My psychiatrist just prescribed Clonazepam to me for anxiety, panic attacks, and bipolar disorder along with Paxil and Depakote. My insurance will not pay for the Clonazepam. What is an alternative to the Clonazepam that will do the same thing as it does? I will ask him to prescribe something else if I know what to ask for.

For the past month i ve been really down, i had many freak outs where i wanted hurt myself ( don't worry i don't have the guts to kill or hurt myself, im scared of death) I hate myself more than ever before and the situation at home is getting worse . I feel alienated and my family is picking on me. I don' t have anyone to talk to.

I can't seem to motivate myself to get myself a counsellor,( i can't never get out of bed) i'm gonna have to wait for my mum to notice and do something.

I'm thinking that i might see if my doctor can prescribe me something to help me cope in the meanwhile.

I was wondering what anti depressants would be best for me???

I don't want something that will make me gain weight, i already have a weight problem and i don't want to make it worse.

Any ideas??? thanks

Somewhat every other night, I dream about Werewolves, Zombies, and The end of the World. As strange as it may sound. I don’t know why, I completely avoid horror movies. This has been happening for some time now. Can any one interpret them? I may add that every dream is gruesome and deals with many deaths, as disturbing as that is. But I would like them to stop any advice?

When I was surfing, I smelled some really awful smell. The smell was very bad. I didn't know what it was coming from. so I continued to surf. Everyday, it used to not smell like that. Then when I fell off my surfboard, there was a human corpse that I landed on. I was so freaked out and scared. I'm not sure how am I going to live that moment down. Any advice on getting over such event?

i overhear people talking about me sometimes and way they react when I am around is like they try to ignore me, i hear people say there is just something about her that i don't like, it is almost everyone i meet, from coworkers, to my husband's friends and family, casual conversations with strangers, my boss once said to me that I think I am better than everyone, but I don't think that at all, I am very insecure, and I try to be friendly but it still does not work

Hi,
I was wondering if nutrition or certain diets can set off chemical imbalances in people? Or, if chemical imbalances, can be treated with a different diet approach.

Thanks,

Alex

I know someone who is on Social Security Disability because of depression.
Do you think that people that have depression are really sick?
Or are those diagnosed with this simply dealing with "self pity"?

irrational fears, constant worry, crying, feeling lonely all the time for no reason, scared to go places alone, feeling guilty all the time, praying to get through work, feeling scared to go or leave or to even wake up and face another day knowing it will be the same, feeling discomfort and sadness when around others- especially when leaving their home, being your own worst enemy, not taking care of needed responsibilities at home, feeling like everyone else is normal, feeling numb, scared to even move in fear of a mood change, taking things to an extreme obsession for awhile such as doing one thing over and over until burnout occurs, getting a good feeling when helping others but can not help yourself,scared to learn or try new things and seeing that doing small things such as bathing is a major accomplishment-- and nothing seems to work like therapy and medication.
What would this person's problem be? I think it has been this way since childhood and got worse as an adult.

Ok, I will probably sound like the biggest freak you have ever heard of on here before, but I have to get this off my chest. It's very annoying, and stressful to think about it. I feel paranoid at times at night. I love reading about history, and reading about those who have died in the past, etc. However, (this will sound really stupid to you, but I would appreciate some appropriate answers to give one of you that are lucky 10 extra points) for some reason, at night, I get this irrational fear that I'm being chased after or something, and I'm going to die. I'm usually alone a lot, and I get scared sometimes for just irrational reasons that don't make any sense. At night, I get a feel of anxiety when I'm trying to sleep where I continuously have bad thoughts, and I can't think clearly, while I'm excessively burning up in a stressful amount of heat under the cover. I've suffered this feeling my whole life, and have really never told anyone about it.

Hi. I met my boyfriend toward the end of the last school year. We became close mostly over summer. When school started back up again, he started to take adderall to help him. He has taken it for years. His mood seems really bad and I was wondering if this is due to the medicine. What are some of the negative side effects of adderall on a person's mood? Thanks in advance.
