Well you are rx'd lithium, trazadone, Xanax and Ambien, right? Do you feel you need a neuroleptic (anit-psychotic) for short-term use?

I definitely need something, short term. I've had enough bars that I should be "numb" but I'm not.
I'm just so terrified and I don't know if he's gonna end up with the 3 yrs over his head. Our house and everything is at stake.
I just need something to relax and quit thinkin of all these horrible things. I've gone from ok, this can't be too bad to now thinkin this time next month I'll be sleepin in a car and losin custody of my kids. I can't stop the insane horrible thoughts/outcomes.
I was thinkin Thorazine temporary and as needed only.
Of course my psych isn't callun back. Hell of a dr...patient havin a nervous break down and he decides he doesn't need to call.
 
I don't think you should be using drugs to deal with something like this.. what if you get a call from his lawyer or whatever, do you really wanna be blacked out? Or when he comes home, do you wanna be too sedated to greet him?

I dunno, I think it just gets into a vicious spiral if you start using drugs to deal with real-life situations like this. Not to mention the health risks of you downing a shitload of various sedatives in an attempt to numb yourself beyond a certain point.

Maybe make a thread on TDS. They're an excellent forum if you need support in situations like this.

Actually, I think Thorazine is a good choice for your situation to deal with the acute anxiety and agitation. Normally, I am really anti-neuroleptic, but there are situations where there use is warranted, and out of all of the neuroleptics Thorazine is a good one IME. Thorazine is a first-generation anti-psychotic, but it does not produce side effects as pronounced as a lot of other first generation anti-psychotics. It is definitely tranquilizing, too. My only real concern would be that it could make you a bit more "dysphoric", but that would be with any neuroleptic, they aren't happy pills, but if you are coming off the rails (literally or in your mind), they can help calm you down or at a high enough dose shut you down. I would probably suggest you start with 25 mg, and if in an hour you feel you need more, take another 25 mg. You have experience with anti-psychotics, IIRC, Seroquel, right? So I am not too concerned you would have an adverse reaction like NMS or anything. I would suggest though, you take some Benadryl (25 mg - 50 mg) along with the Thorazine to help minimize the side-effects, and it wouldn't hurt to be a little more sedated.
 
Well, the idiot had his nurse call. They want me to take 25 mgs of my Vistiril twice a day. Ffs! Fuckin moron. I can't wait to tell his dumb ass off on the 14th.
Fuckin idiot probably doesn't even have a real med license.
I fuckin hate him.
nAON, right now, yes I'd like to be numb. With all the fucked up shit that's happened in the past 8-9 months, I think I need numb. Before I flip the fuck out and do something regretable!
 
Wow arent you already on like a dozen different meds? i bet he IS avoiding your calls.
 
okay i see you are already taking lithium, trazadone, Xanax and Ambien . Im not trying to be an ass but you really think you need even more medications?

25 mg Vistaril is a joke for anything but mild anxiety or a little trouble sleeping. It isn't a bad drug, just not appropriate for your situation.
 
I wouldn't try and get prescribed any more drugs. You're already pushing the limits of polypharmacy. What you need is emotional support. As nAON mentioned earlier, The Dark Side is an excellent place to start. While benzos like Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, etc - can help you in the short term - they will indeed make things worse in the long term.

Since we're not really trying to encourage threads that ask stuff like "what drug should I take?" I'm going to close this for now.
