Well i havent been back for a while.
Man i tell you, usally some doesnt tell you when you going through a rough time, well here it is, im going through hell.
Its like really whats next? i think and have horrible thoughts that i react to, and have to deal with, pacing, staring with blood shot eyes, numbness.
But coming against negitive thoughts works. Anaylze. But i do have one thing.
I have OCD tendencies... worry and keep thinking again, go crazy trying to find my keys, my eyes go dialated when i get this extreme. It may be some reaction.
I hate SSRI's, i do take Prozac 20mg its ok, but i hate feeling serogeneric, dull, tired, no.
I do take Klonopin which seems to help some but not much.
Can i have any suggestions?

hi. what exactly are you being treated for? you sound a bit like me. i kind of thrive on the analysis of negativity which has helped me in some ways as far as pursuing academia but has made my emotional life a living hell. i have ocd tendencies and the going crazy thing w/ the losing keys, eyes going dialated, etc. sound a bit like a manic episode. maybe not full blown mania, which i don't seem to get, but definitely an increase in irritability and confusion. is it compounded by lack of sleep sometimes? i get that from the blood shot eye reference. have you looked at the symptoms of hypomania or bipolar II. the ocd can go hand in hand with hypomania which just makes everything worse. when you have those tendencies and add a little negative energy, you have a confusing problem on your hands. i was diagnosed as strictly depressed for 17 years before a psychiatrist actually sat down with me and asked me about my psychiatric history and what i deal with on a regular basis. this must be about pdoc #6 or 7. maybe you need to revisit this. i was actually told by my pdoc that if you do have a manic tendency then ssri's like prozac can aggravate the irritability, confusion, anger, pacing, restlessness, etc. welcome to the world of unclear diagnoses. aaack. i'd love to hear back from you.

Matt, I was thinking the same thing as tarabara. I'm bipolar II as well. The insomnia, irritability, anxiety, INTENSE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS I've been told is hypomania for me. The SSRI I was on helped some, but yes, I've been told can increase bipolar cycling. I am on a mood stabilizer now, Seroquel, and since I've started it a month and a half ago I've felt better. Please take care of yourself. Lucia
