Advice
by kmurray1, Jun 03, 2007 12:00AM
I have a bit of a story like alot of people I am sure however I will try and get to the point
-I feel that I may need an anxiety med because my moods are so up and down, I get irritated fast along with hot feelings, light headed and dizzy, my biggest problem is getting mad so easily, I lash out when I should probley be more calm or when nothing should upset at least not that much.
-I have had this anger problem before and I sometimes don't realize its not worth it just leave it alone, I do also think to myself why are you acting so mean and why can't you just stop doing what your doing.
-For an example when I was with my x I feel I started alot of argument with him and I would stop and go back to it again, I hated it inside but I couldn't help it.
-I have been put on Paxil before but stopped in 2005 or somewhere around that not because of the medication itself I just couldn't afford it without medical and then I just forgot about it.
-Something I should mention is I have been off and on with taking pain pills(vicodin) and alcohol which I currently stopped and had minor withdrawls , however I do know that that can cause this mood thing but I feel Its how I am now???
-I am gonna talk to my doctor but I really like some advice before that
-Does anyone feel this ever or know what it might be that I have and what medication are good if I have to use that won't make me completely different I want to be me just not moody I want to be the nice girl I am inside and lost somehow...
Thanks

They will probably give you something for it. Do you have insurance now? If you dont make sure you tell them. Maybe they can find something for you that might not be as expensive. I would also suggest asking the doc for a referal to see a psychiatrist or psychologist. It might help to talk about underlying problems. With meds and therapy, you will hopefully feel better! Just remember they always say, keep taking your meds unless your doc tells you to stop; and remember that most pills usually take a good 3-4weeks to start working. Best of luck!!!
I am 24 so I guess young still :)
I don't have insurrance however the public clinic may help with the prescription cost...they have paid for my antibiotics and so fourth before so hopefully if I do get on something they will help because I know its very expensive.
Thanks again
