Moods 😭

[Spirit19]

I can’t stand my moods constantly changing they are so exhausting and I feel like giving up ....

I have the same issue, do you know why this often happens? I’m so at a loss. What I know I never feel is happy, do you ever feel happy/ content

[Spirit19 in reply to Rpan]

No I don’t not anymore my medication has changed me and it’s like totally made me worse

[Rpan]

That stinks, I guess it’s a no brainer. I’ve been on and off so many different medications, so I’m hearing you. I really do believe that moodiness is related to how the body processes things. I was told by my MD that medication isn’t the answer for me.

I just feel like something bad is going to happen

They call it the feeling of, “impending doom.” It’s a symptom of depression. If you don’t mind my asking Spirit, what meds are you on? I take Lithium and Cymbalta.

[Spirit19 in reply to Hidden]

Abilify , propanolol, gabapentin, viibryd, klonopin

Hmm, I don’t know anything about viibryd, but I’ve taken the rest at different times. Abilify really helped me. I took Inderal (Propranolol) for a heart defect that I had corrected in 2011 and it may contribute to your feeling weird as it slows down your heart rate and lowers your blood pressure. I’m on Gabapentin now and I don’t feel any different. Klonopin always gave me a hangover and really didn’t work to help me sleep. The big question is what happens when you mix them all together! There’s also so much difference in how meds work on each person. If I remember correctly, your doctor just tells you to take them, right? You could try withdrawing them 1 at a time and see if you feel better, but you have to consult your doctor for help. For instance, suddenly withdrawing from Propranolol can cause a rapid heart rate and even heart attack and death. You would need about 2 weeks to slowly be weaned off as directed by your doctor. You could always ask...

I’m sorry I don’t know what that means. Moods just come and go

hey kiddo....call your doctor and get those meds changed..... please honey take care of yourself.... you know sometimes just changing small things can make a big difference... I am here for you as your friend .... but you need to make the choice to get the proper meds that are going to help and not leave you feeling the same or worse. You deserve to feel better.
