i am bipolar, i used to be on risperdal but i changed to seroquel because of tardive dyskenesia.. but now i learned recently that i can acquire diabetes with seroquel, so i wanna change meds. i guess what concerns me is what medicine has less serious side effects. or do you know a website which lists down the medicines for bipolar and their side effects?

I was wondering whether drugs such as galantamine (Reminyl) are safe in healthy patients who are not suffering from dementia, and whether they can be of benefit as a nootropic.

Well, I'm not really at a point where I feel comfortable to talk about my personal problems yet. I'm just looking to be prescribed some medication to (hopefully) correct my problems.

I'm a 27 year old male and I've had many untimely deaths in my family that thrust me into a place I'm not really ready to be in. I have a lot of pent up anger toward myself for being what I see as a failure at life. I also have anger toward my parents(both deceased) for what I feel was them not looking out for my future. I don't mean to, but I project this anger onto everyone around me, in the workplace, my friends. It's really starting to affect me as I alienate everyone around me. What type of doctor would possibly be able to offer some kind of help until I feel comfortable to finally open up and talk about things?

I'm also extremely shy around anyone I don't know well, so I think I suffer from social anxiety disorder, so a two for one doctor would be much appreciated. ^_^

I'm pretty sure I'm depressed. Two years ago things started to get really bad, and last year I battled anorexia (something that I still feel the effects of everyday). When I was in the prime of my disorder, I would lose control for a span of about 5 minutes often, screaming, crying, yelling stuff at reflection in a mirror, and even punching myself. Nowadays, though I am at a healthy weight, I have new problems in school. I only have one friend, everyone ignores me, and I am a "geek." I used to be moderately popular. And this one guy that I was absolutely SURE I loved dumped me. My schoolwork is a lot harder, and I'm having trouble with time management...so a lot is going on for me right now. And I'm having these "panic attacks" again.

But here's the problem. Whenever I hint to my mom that I might need help, she says I'm just sad. She didn't particularly love having to pay for a nutritionist and a therapist in the past...what do you think I should do?

I noticed during my illness and now years later, I lost a lot of self esteem and confidence. It is still hard for me to have self esteem and confidence. Many people try and bring it up or put me in positions but get frustrated when I cannot and stay the same sort of person. I cannot be assertive or have a lot of confidence or self esteem or communication skills when it is holding me back. I have accepted who I am and what I can and cannot do. Why can't others?

Why do people think I am lazy when I just know what I can and cannot do, and refuse to do anything which is setting me up to fail?

Both involve caring for people in a vulnerable situation.

Both involve being responsible and not abusing the person you could do - if you wished.

What are your thoughts please.

Thanks.

It's the most childish thing, but if I'm not in close proximity to a restroom, I feel like I'm going to piss on myself. I haven't been able to hold my bladder for more then 6 hours (unless I'm asleep) because of it.
It's been like this for 8 months now, and it's so stupid. I'm afraid to leave the house because I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my bladder for as long as I'll be out. I goto the bathroom before I leave to go anywhere and I'm always thinking about it, even when I'm at home.
I know I could hold my bladder for longer but something just keeps going on that makes me think I'm going to piss myself.

Does anyone know whats wrong, or what I could do to stop it? Is it psychological or medical? It's kinda taking over my life :( I'm afraid to go on trips with my school and even goto events, like dances, because of it.

My daughter was married March 25, 2007. Marriage soon ended in late April of 2007. She has been told that she can get an anulment but when she calls lawyers on this they say no she can't. Her husband was very posessive, verbally, and emotionally abusive towards her after they said I DO. She has been through a lot of trauma in her life with the most recent things being a rape in 2004 and victim of an armed robbery in 2006 which has left her with PTSD. He knew all of this before he married her and knew she could not work right now. But yet he used all of this against her due to insecurities he was left with from his 1st wife. He left her home in April and then returned to Michigan in August when he saved up the money to move. Can she get an anullment or not in SC? Even now he abuses and harasses her by phone and computer, calling ot emailing over 20 times a day and accusing her of finding someone else. She can not handle this for a year until they can file for divorce. Please help.

I was just prescribed Tranxene for anxiety. I asked the doc about Xanax and he wouldn't give it to me. I didn't know Tranxene was a benzo I called a pharmacy that doesn't have benzos and they claimed Tranxene was a form of Xanax or something. How similar are these two drugs?

I'm physically and psycologically addicted to pain killers. I can't stop taking them, I don't want to stop taking them and that is a problem. I don't want to be dependent on them to get me through the day. I suffer from anxiety and also OCD and when I take these pain killers I feel normal. I feel happy and I'm not anxious or pulling my hair out (I have trichotillomania). I know that I'm addicted and that they are not good for me. The problem is I don't want to stop taking them. They make me feel good. What can I do to break this habit, besides going to rehab? Any suggestions? Please don't be mean, I feel bad enough already.
