angry irritated

[Adamj]

just angry and irritated today full of emotions tired of dealing with this was having suicidal thoughts last night like nothing I’d act on but I’m just tired of being patient waiting being mentally and physically in pain. I try and be positive it’s not working. Im so frustrated im about to cry and cry. My damn mind is all over the place and never will slow down and then it feels like it’s jumping around. Doctor was debating on me trying gabapentin to see if it helps with the weird sensations I get and the anxiety. Anyone have any luck with gabapentin? I just want to give up stop eating and just give up

I’m tired of feeling lost and alone

Hi Adam,

I have not tried it but I have a friend who takes it along with an antidepressant and it helps her soooo much she’s been on it for quite some years she did also have sducidal thoughts. Don’t be afraid

I’m just frustrated and down and angry I’m tired of this I try and pray like I’ve been told but it does nothing. I see everyone around me with their mental illness and disabilities being able to live and I just am here suffering

I know remember things don’t change over night don’t give up I am praying for us! Not giving up on our faith

Adam - remember that you have your psychiatrist appointment tomorrow. See what the doctor says. I think an anti-dpresssant, plus something like gabapentin could be helpful. Also, there are a lot of drugs that are similar to gabapentin, so see what your doctor thinks.

I took gabapentin when I broke my leg so I could sleep. It helped & I found it anxiety reducing as well. It is a drug a I would use again if needed.

Hi Adam,

I've just found your post, having missed the day's HU. I am on Pregabalin. My GP prescribed it for peripheral neuropathy and for my oversensitive bladder that got me up too many times in the night.

The first time I took it I felt high! I had rediscovered what it was like to receive a really good night's sleep and feel energised the next day. I realised that I hadn't felt like this since I was ten years old and I hate any thought of having to stop taking it. I was supposed to increase the dose every two days, which I did, but then I inadvertently ran out of supplies and when I started taking them again, felt it best to go back to square one. I am not now taking as much as I did before and am happy with 150 mg at night and 50 mg in the morning.

As well as usually feeling more energised, I also feel calm and more able to cope with my partner's diabetic and Narcisistic mood swings. I have read that it doesn't suit everyone - some are better on Gabapentin, but if you don't get offered it, you might feel it worth while to ask your doctor whether it might help you.
