My psychiatrist told me that if my blood pressure stays high he will not want to prescribe my Adderall anymore. Thing is, I’ve always had high blood pressure, it aint the Adderall doc. But he says he has a hard time prescribing it when it tends to increase blood pressure. I have two days til my next visit with him to fix this. I still smoke, I still drink, I still eat salty food…what’s a boy to do?

After little progress under the care of my psychiatrist and psychologist I am interested in going to an inpatient treatment center. I don’t know if they would treat me for my depression, anxiety, codependency, or all three. I need more help than I am getting but am wondering what its like to go to an inpatient treatment facility? And, is it worth it? What are the pros and cons? Looking for some insight from anyone who knows anything about it because I really don’t know much and want help in getting better.

I feel pretty good on Paxil CR. The only thing that bothers me is I have a very low libido. It really puts a huge negative impact on my relationship with my boyfriend. I Hate It. It’s awful. I want my sexual drive back. What should I do? Oh, and I have talked to my psychiatrist, she switched me to Lexapro, which made me feel very unhappy regarding depression and anxiety, so now she suggested skip taking the pill the night before you have sex. I notice very little. What do i do?

My psychiatrist has put me on everything the past few years and I always get some of the serious side effects. I felt better off of my meds. I get moody sometimes and have outbursts even on meds as if I’m not on them. I feel like I’m taking years off of my like with all of this medicine going in my system. Please help.

I’ve been in Iraq for well over a year and while I have been pretty much out of harm’s way for the most part, it has been a rough year emotionally. I have not been diagnosed with depression before because I never saw a psychiatrist or anyone of that nature, however, I can tell you that for a good part of ten years, I’ve been having a series of depression which last for several days.

Here in Iraq, it’s been the most prominent. I would get depressed and feel empty inside and this will last for a week and then I would feel better for a week and get depressed for another week and feel better for three weeks. Usually, my depression is sudden. I would be at work and I will feel fine and then all of a sudden I would feel this uncontrollable saddness and empty feeling inside me. Almost like disappointment or like I lost something. Which would eventually turn into iritability and hostility and back to silence again.

I want to see a real psyciatrist but don’t know what to do. Thanks.

I stopped taking Remeron last Thursday (as directed by my psychiatrist), and have been experiencing moderate insomnia. Note that insomnia was never a problem before (on or off Remeron). I tried Valerian but it doesn’t seem to hit the target and I feel wired. Does anyone have experience/suggestions that helped?

I am an enlisted navy personnel, an E-3, AD for 1.5 yr now. I was on LIMDU and medical board for 4 months before I was returned to duty by my military psychiatrist. After RTD, I undergone a sea duty screening and was found to be "assignment limited." In addition to that, my psychiatrist also recommended an administrative discharge. I was diagnosed to have been suffering from Depression, Anxiety, Psyhcoses and Somatization disorder. Right now, my command admin is waiting to receive the PERS 40BB direction about my separation for them to start the discharge process. Before my military psychiatrist made the recommendation, he referred me to a Sleep Study Doctor for my insomnia, and the result came out lately; I have an obstructive sleep apnea. With this result, I don’t know how will my treatment program with the sleep medicine will continue. I still have 3 more sessions with my sleep medicine doctor to complete, but it might not happen anymore as the discharge order may come out anytime in the next few days. Right now I am using a CPAP machine as part of the treatment. Also my military neurologist referred me to a civilian clinic to undergo physical therapy and rehab for my chronic dizziness and unresolve vertigo. I also have on going consults with hearing loss and tinitus with a civilian doctor as per referral by my neurologust. I know all of this will be stopped once the admin discharge comes to the fore. I am thinking of consulting my military PCM about the latest findings and my current treatment programs. I don’t know if he could make it to put me in LIMDU or Medboard due to the new medical findings. And if he would do so, would it prevent the decision of the PERS 40BB to administratively discharged me? Are there other ways to have my treatment and consult completed using tricare insurance after the discharge? I shall greatly appreciate any information you will share. Thank you!

Hello,

I am 21 and have had chronic insomnia since age 16. I avoided medication for a long time, but lately I’ve been rather serious with my studies and if I do not get enough rest I will start to have hallucinations and delirium.

At first I had no adverse side effects. The last few times I took Ambien though, which is on very scarce occasions and am not tired at all and need to get up early the next morning. The last few times I woke up after taking Ambien the night before, I had an upset stomach and little to no appetite. The kind of upset stomach is one I’ve never experienced before, and I know that i’ve only had this feeling when taking ambien.

I’m asking this question on Yahoo because the psychiatrist that prescribed them to me has his appointments acted up for three or four months, he never remembers me, and he always gives me a different diagnosis every time I come in. I don’t trust him and there aren’t any psychiatrists near where I live who aren’t scheduled to the maximum with patients.

If you have had a similar experience or any information on Ambien and upset stomach,I would really appreciate your response.
