Maybe I'm normal and they are crazy - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

daize · 06-07-2007, 07:55 PM

After being in and out of hospital and diagnosed with a whole heap of different conditions some stemming from childhood trauma, some I have developed with the help of plenty of drug use and wierd experiences and some which apparently I was born with. I have been treated with many different medications and hospitalised twice in the last 6 months.

Why can't they just simply decide once and for all what is REALLY wrong and just treat that? Why do they keep changing their minds and meds, why when I am on the road up do they take some of my meds away stressing me out and triggering me into relapse? Who is the crazy one here?

Some times I could just scream and scream and scream....is this going to last forever?

Do you ever get better.

I can't take this **** any more

First of all, I am sure you know that your medications will not help you if you are drinking/drugging.

And, as aggravating as it is, many of us (almost all of us?!) have to go through the trial and error of finding the right mix of medications as everyone's chemistry is unique and we react to the same medications differently. It is entirely frustrating, I know.

It is also true that many of the psychotropics may take as long as 8 weeks to really stabilize in our system and start to help.

However if you have a bad reaction to any medication, report that immediately.

Best wishes,

live

Bless your heart. I know exactly what you're going through. As a teenager I was dx with so many things, so many meds, state hospitals, private hopsitals, county, counseling, more meds, more therapy, pain, pain pain, anxiety and panic and darkness.there was so much dark. I didn't think any light existed so I didn't even know where to go or what to do. I knew I was alive, and I had vital signs..but as far as being happy or stable on meds....it took a long hile. I made it and so have many others. I am dealing now with alot of physical dx's and problems. But I'll nevre forget the agony of trying to gte dx properly and on the right meds.....please don't give up sweetie........please don't. you can make it through. It isn't fun, it isn't easy....it's beyond scary.....keep posting here and get it off your chest. We care, we know how hard it is to hang on..........we'll hang on with you okay?
