3 Days and Counting To Assessment

[Portabella]

Well, I went. I have to return on April 3rd at 9:00 a.m. for a more detailed asssessment with a psychologist or something like that. They put me on medications Xanax and Paxil for day and Ambien CR for night. Any input on these meds would be welcomed. I have been on both seperately before, but never together and that was some time ago. They confirmed the PTSD, said they were concerned that they feel I am depressed. They also advised that I have Anxiety/Panic disorder. We will fine tune and learn more as I go on I guess. This all seemed pretty hoaky.

hm, i took ambien, but it made me drowsy into the next day, not so much at night--a lot of things do that with me though. slow metabolism. i was on xanax for a while, did not like that zombie feeling, but it did work. the first thing my psychiatrist did was jerk me off of them, too addictive. praying that you will get the right meds and therapy to help you heal.

hang in there. they might have to adjust your meds a few times. sometimes i have found that the zombie feeling is a break from the panac attacks and sleepless nights that just get longer . I have been able to take some of my meds on an as needed. dr .agrees.
