I figure all her symptoms stem from the PTSD, and the stomach problems stem from being shot, christ the surgeon told me that directly. Wish these damn doctors would keep their stories straight. |
OMG I didn't know this... they never told
me. Or maybe I was just so out of it that I wasn't paying attention. Anyways I agree that it's BS. How can anyone have alllll those conditions all at once anyhow?!? Like WTF, are they trying for the Guiness Book of World Records with me?? No wonder they prescribe so many medications, if they think people have 5+ mental illnesses all at once. I thought the purpose of the DSM-IV was to rule out conditions so you're only diagnosed with one or maybe two at a time?? Dumb...
And yeah veiled I am medication free, for 3 weeks I think now, except I occasionally take a sleeping pill. I'm paranoid about taking the sleeping pills though as I don't want to get addicted. My uncle made me take one that night when I freaked out. But I generally only take one once or twice a month. I'm hoping to stay off the meds too, as I don't think they were really helping me. I mean, 3 years ago I started on 5 mg, then suddenly I was on 15, then 20, then 40, and finally 60 mg!!!! Obviously it wasn't working, because they kept increasing it.
I wish you well with getting off the Xanax completely.
