I told her about the mood swings and SI and things told her about the panic attacks. Got worse since i came off pills. Then in my notes she found a letter from a doctor I saw in july 06 being with a P but things have changed since then nothing to same. It said something along the lines. " Low moods. unable to to detect a severe mental illness tends to act on impuse" she said that I had been on a lot of pills (3) from the dif groups. And that she sent me to see the other doctors and things and they didn't come up with nothing and all she really do is give me these **** again. Thay don't know what to do with me I get passed around and they come back with nothing.
So she put me back on Mirtazapine, or Remeron® in the US. What is the same one I was on when we were on hoilday I just coming off them then back in september 06. She only gave me 14, 15mg tables so I have to go back and see her again in to weeks. She says I need to stay on the for 6 mouths to see if they work. coz last time I was only on them for 8 weeks.
Tried my best I could not tell her that most of the time I want to die. coz then she wouldn't give me any pills at all. And all I get is the same pills I was on last and come off coz they didn't do ****. I'm going to take them just so I say I taken them. So all in all waste of time. Maybe I am just ment to me like this maybe meds and counselling are not meant to work. Maybe I was just born to be this way what is nealy the same as she told me today. Maybe no one can help me. I'm sorry i just don't know what to do.

Firstly I would get a new GP. Secendly I would see a psychologist (NOT a psychiatrist) about these mod problems. You may have a kind of bipolar disorder and this should be looked into.
I don't think medication is the answer for you in the long term but it seems some different pills may help ypu at the moment. I hope that you get a bitter better soon.

I'm sorry you feel like this. I would change GP's first off. You're in a bad enough state without the c"£p from your gp. I see a gp who is really good with me, I get my pills one week at a time so I don't have too many in the house at once (in case I O/D on them). Maybe you could do this! But I would definitely change to a more sympathetic gp.

I cannot understand why you have not been referred to a clinical psychologist. I know there is a long waiting list but I really feel that a good cognitive-behavioural therapist woul;d be able to help. go back to your GP and ask for a referal..In the meantime take up jogging or going to the gym.. exercise is one of the best things for you if you are depressed and can give you a lift that lasts a couple of days.

You have to take the pills long term for them to be effective. You probably wouldn't gain any benefit from them if you only took them for a few weeks. They can make you feel much worse if you take them and then suddenly stop, you have to come off them gradually. Try to stick with it, you won't get immediate results but they should help over a longer period of time. Good luck.

Perhaps you should go to a different doctor and ask for a second opinion, it doesn't sound like you got the oucome you wanted.
Did you tell her that the tablets didn't work for you the last time? Because it sounds like maybe she didn't understand what you wanted. Have another go, or get a second opinion. Don't worry, it will work out fine in the end...

Sounds as if there is the possibility of you being "bi-polar"
unfortunately there is no compound cure for this condition. Symptoms can be alleviated by medication, but it`s a case of trial and error until one which is found suitable.
I would however make the suggestion that you try to obtain a referral to a good psychotherapist, rather than psychologist, or indeed psychiatrist.
And maybe work with them in order to view your difficulties from a different perspective.

Stop taking the drugs and get your hormones balanced. If you have mood swings, you have a hormonal imbalance.
Anxiety, depression, mood swings, irritable/angry, tearful, crying, racing pulse, weak knees or dizziness, developing phobias, etc. are caused by hormones. You can be totally normal within a month if you get the proper hormones. Drugs are messing with your brain-- your problem isn't your brain, it's your endocrine system.

I agree doctors are not of much help, I don't understand when someone here writesd a question about help, everyone says go to ur GP!! as if they're God. I too got no help from them & find them very useless..(there are some good ones out there but how dou find them?)
I can only suggest to try healing, it helped me alot & I'm sure it'll help you, you can go to NFSH national federation of healers) if u go regurarly you'll start to notice a difference; please go to this ite 2 find ur nearest centre: (PS they work on donations only, most people give £1-5)
Hope this is of some help, please ask God for help, He won't let u down...
with luv
