I have Asperger's Syndrome (most likely the cause of my co-morbid depression) and very rarely go out anywhere on a social basis, mainly because I also don't know anyone where I live and have no friends here. I have always had difficulties with lassies (very shy, quiet, low self-esteem/confidence, etc) and never really asked anyone out - it's always been the otherway around. Whenever I could finally pluck up the courage I always got turned down which sent my already low confidence levels crashing… read more

I was in recovery. My illness was being managed well. I was doing great on my meds, confident, successful and living life. I was happy. 4 years ago I relapsed. My meds stopped working. My anxiety went into overdrive. My depression took over and my manic episodes came back with a vengeance. I'm not sure if pre menopause can cause this or not. I hit bottom in December 2015.

Is there anybody in this site that is from Connecticut?

My doctor checked my Lithium levels and said they were "extremely low." He put me on 300 MG of Lithium XR 3X/day. He did not diagnose me as bipolar but everything I've read indicates that that's what this medication is prescribed for. Does anyone know something I don't? Also, I am perpetually EXHAUSTED!! I also take 2 MG of @Xanax 2X/ day, in addition to @Celexa. (40 MG 2X/ day. I feel like I'm walking in my sleep! Functioning is almost impossible! Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!!

I'm bi-polar with a severe anxiety disorder and in recovery so my psychiatrist has me on Buspar and Zyprexa and it doesn't seem to be working. I recently went back to work after not working for over 15 years and have impressed my employer a lot but every morning on my way to work I have a bad anxiety attack, all I am is a prep cook for The Poke Company and I work very hard to calm myself down while I'm working I hum very quietly. I need ideas on how I can calm myself down on my way to work most… read more

Just wondering if that's the cause...psych meds. I've been on them (many different ones) for nearly 20 years for major depressive disorder and anxiety. I am 40 years old and the last couple years have seemed cloudy for me. I am definitely not as sharp as I used to be! Currently on Viibryd, Abilify and Provigil. Thank you in advance!
