PlasticInsanity Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Thanks to everyone who replied. I'm glad I'm prepared now that the meds aren't guaranteed to work, and me and the doc will have to work on a cocktail that's right for me. That probably sounds corny but at least I'm not holding hope for it to work right away, and I can remind myself after I start on them since I know I can be discouraged easily. i might be a nerd, but I'm kind of excited to go on them. it means there's a chance of nixing out the depression, anxiety, paranoia and suicidal thoughts. hey PlasticInsanity i just wondered what the outcome was of the discussion with your doctor on meds? xx Sorry I didn't respond earlier. My doc unfortunately wasn't able to prescribe anything, but I'm meeting with a psych at the Mental Health center in a couple of weeks so I have my fingers crossed, lol.

icu_baby Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Imam not sure if there are meds for bppd but many with borderline have comorbid disorders like bipolar and depression and medication is good for those. Also a lot of doctors use seroquel to treat the mood instability of borderline off label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily-Bee Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I take Zoloft/Stertraline 200mg which is an anti D for anxiety,I have way less panic attacks and less social anxiety,it doesnt seem to do all that much for my depressed moods. For emergencies when I have a panic attack or some other meltdown I have 0,5 mg Xanax Orap 2 mg anti P for obsessive worrying which doesnt fix it but certainly helps.

Crave chocolate big time They took my off the seroxat to go on tbe 225 Vanafluxin,i had a hell of a time coming off of them,started taking the V and it did absolutely nothing for making me feel better,even gave me lithium to take at the same time.so i told them what i wanted in the end.

scottishgal Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I am on 200mg lamotrigine (lamictal) as a mood stabilizer 80 mg propranolol (beta blocker) so release for anxiety 50mg quetiapine (anti psychotic) for paranoia The quetiapine knocks me out, the lamictal does help to stabilize my moods but i dont think the dosage is right yet and the proranolol did help when i first started taking it but my anxiety is still really bad.

alizae Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I see many of you use anti-psychotics. That is sad. Those meds may be quite dangerous, so I would never advocate prescription of these substances. I also see lots of different coctails. Antidepressants should not be combined in a frivilous way. I've found lamotrigin to be quite good sedative even though that may be a bit unorthodox use of this med. MAOIs (moclobemid) may be awesome, or at least it was for me because it was inducing hypomania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
