GreenMachine Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi there. 40, M, Canada. Awaiting psychiatric assessment. Stuck in a rural backwater where my only entertainment is regular visits to ER to see what they'll give me. GP and tdoc can't agree - depression, or bipolar + ADHD? (Whatever, I must've changed since last year, when two different docs brought up the 'Antisocial' and 'Multiple' varieties of PD, neither of which they felt qualified to treat) I like to self-medicate, on top of the Seroquel/Celexa/Ativan I've acquired legitimately, the latter being discontinued after that good 'ol disinhibitor did it's stuff. Perhaps my attitude toward medicine is a little counterproductive, or maybe I'm too frustrated to think straight after being virtually incarcerated by 'concerned' family members for months. (You know, "we don't trust you to drive until you get help" --> "we don't trust you to drive, you might fall asleep on your medication", etc. ) Then again, I'm looking forward to the next session with my rehab therapist - that's how I found this board, looking for advice on how to deal with the most intense case of, um, 'transference' (?) I've ever experienced (Also, what does it mean if I try to drink myself to sleep, and fail to even get a buzz - on Seroquel???) Anyway, so glad to have found this board!

tryp Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hey there, I'm in Canada too, and we're almost on the same cocktail - mine is Seroquel/Celexa/clonazepam. Transference, huh? Well, I'm the queen of intense feelings about my therapist, so if you feel like talking more about that, I can provide at the very least an empathetic ear, though I don't know how good my advice will be Hope your tdoc and GP get themselves together soon. Welcome to CrazyBoards Hope to see you around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choosing_the_blue_pills Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Welcome to CB! Hope you find the boards useful. Btw, Seroquel and alcohol don't go well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistyGypsy Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hey GreenMachine, I've done a lot of combining psych meds & alcohol in my time, not for a few years though. Just not giving a crap about myself & refusing to behave responsibly was my game. If you're trying but failing to get drunk though, I wonder if alcohol dependence has become an issue. The last time I drank (Sept 05) it gave me nothing good at all Glad you found CB too, look forward to catching up around the boards, Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
