Borderline Micky Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Lot of paralised feelings in the left part of chest mostly. Taking nozinan 100-200mg a day. Its helping a lot with my sleep and changing my dreams for better. It's also helping with the presure i feel in my head. But when i feel paralised I think the drug caused it or at least made it worse. I'm still taking the drug and i think it's better to take it. I tryed Abilify, Seroquel, Depakote, Lexapro, Zoloft, Clonazepam, Vallium(generic), Suboxone, Haldol, Akineton, Xanax, Zyprexa, Tegretol, Prazine, and more... I abused prescrition drugs, took street drugs, overdosed a lot of times. I smoke weed when i'm outside with people( i like the effect and people mostly don't look at it as a drug abuse). I get tempted to do cocaine and speed, especially if somebody mentions it or takes it in front of me. I know some people who take suboxone, and I am mostly ''avoiding'' them. And by avoiding i mean ignoring. I don't get drunk regulary, bet when i do, I either feel sleepy and exhausted or have a mental breakdown. I like nozinan, it is a potent drug, i somehow enjoy the effect and I'm taking a pretty high dose. I have an appointment on the 15. and i am curious what my diagnosis will be, and what the doctor will say about the medication. I'm thinking about asking for Depakote for my chest pains and that stuff. It feels like i'm about to have a epileptic attack or a seizure. It kinda paralises me, slows me down, make me feel awful. And nozinan is helping to make it less painful and scary. I had some eppileptic attacks, almost some seizures, panic attack, inability to speek and a lot more. I had a lot of diagnosis(a few schiozid ones), a few about drug abuse, mixed personality disorder . My biggest problem was drug abuse and presription drug abuse.

Siggmin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I took Nozinan for a while. It's not available in the US, as far as I know, so there might not be a lot of people with experience with it. I asked the psychiatrist following me at the time (he was my inpatient doctor, and my psychiatrist was on vacation, so he kept seeing me after my discharge from the hospital for a while) for a non sedating antipsychotic, and Nozinan was his answer. It's a nice medicine, but I did not have any of the side effects you have listed. I would definitely talk to your doctor about them, as maybe they can lower the Nozinan dose or find something to counteract the side effects. Sorry I can't be of more help!

Borderline Micky Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Doctor keeps saying that the chest pains are psyhosomatic. I done some test for heart and the results were normal. I don't want to lower the dose of nozinan, but i willask about adding to make me fell more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggmin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 That is also possible. I don't know about Depakote for that, though. I would personally think Ativan might be better. I am on Depakote for my mood (actually, we call it Epival here), but when I had anxiety that sometimes brought on a tight feeling in my chest, I was given Ativan.

Borderline Micky Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 The doctor won't give me benzodiazepines because i abused xanax and vallium a lot(mostly generics), but thanks for trying to help... I don't know what he will say about this but I won't even ask for stuff that can be abused. He already knows about this, but he can't really help me. Some anticolvusant could help if they decide to give it to me. I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggmin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Have you tried Propanolol? I hear that is good for anxiety as well, not sure if it is a benzo. As far as Google will tell me, it doesn't look like it is. It might help with your chest pain. I'm not sure an anticonvulsant will. Sorry if I am out of line, just trying to help. You can tell me off if you feel you need to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt07 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 What makes you think that an anticonvulsant will help with chest discomfort? I take Tegretol, and it does nothing to help with chest pains due to anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borderline Micky Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Minionkity: I didn't try propranolol. No, you're not out of line, i appriciate that you are trying to help me. jt07: I don't know I thought Depakote could help me relax, but i was on tegretol too and i wouldn't compare it to depakote.

Siggmin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 You might want to try it. It may help. Someone I was in the hospital with was given it while anxious, and it helped them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt07 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 When I took Depakote, it made me more depressed and very, very, very hungry. I lasted only a month on it. Granted, it does not affect everyone the same way, but I don't think that it helped me relax. At the time I was on it, I still required a fairly large dose of Klonopin to deal with anxiety. Gabapentin (Neurontin) is an anticonvulsant that does seem to help with anxiety. Propranolol is a good alternative for anxiety. No, it is not a benzo. It is a beta blocker, and there are actually several beta blockers that might be helpful. I take Atenolol. Have you tried buspirone (Buspar)? It is a non-benzo anti-anxiety med that will either work for you or do nothing. It's really a hit or miss med. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggmin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I agree with JT. Good luck to you, whatever you decide to do. Just try not to go in asking for Depakote. Instead, explain you are having some anxiety (chest pains) and would like to try a non benzodiazepine to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borderline Micky Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 I didn't try it. I never took anything for the pain or discomfort of this. Only for my mood and behaviour. I don't really know if i wil get anything like that and i wouldn't know which med to mention to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggmin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 No, I mean when you see your doctor, try to ask him about a med that may help your anxiety. I wasn't implying that you have tried it, if you meant me. If not, whoops... Lol. Anyway, maybe you don't need to mention a specific med, just ask about an option for your anxiety that is not a benzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borderline Micky Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 ok, thanks for the help. I will ask about help for my anxiety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
