Suggest Remedy For Severe Anxiety And Depression In Elderly Person



I was fortunate in having a Family Practitioner who KNEW me, really knew ME.
When I finally got to her, she was beyond LIVID! She stormed into the waiting room, told my husband to follow her. In the exam room, she demanded knowing why he hadn't gotten me help much sooner, etc. She then made an emergency call to one of the finest Psychiatrists I have ever encountered. During the next 7 years, I was closely monitored by Dr. Crawley and a colleague, Dr. Grace. I was sent to a Neurologist, had sleep tests, brain scans, etc.
DIAGNOSIS: Cataplexy WITHOUT Narcolepsy, extreme emotional abuse, lack of familial support, panic disorder, etc. To add a little gravy, they discovered I am an opposite, & every anti-depressant tried, laid me low.
Finally (after a few years), they told me about Adderall. They didn't mess around, they put me on 20 mgs 3 times daily. After a week they upped it to 30 mgs 3 times daily - combined with 1 mg 4 times daily of Clonazapam to temper it & treat the panic. I never abused my regimen - I never had to. MY GOD, I HAD A LIFE AFTER ALL! Later, they added 100 mgs Modafinil 1 or 2 times daily, prn. We moved to Nevada. Now, when I need help the most, & The FDA became bored, my Adderall (overnight!) was cut to 5mg 3 times daily. My Clonazapam to 3 times daily. My Modafinil to 1 daily. I now can barely function, have PTSD, an Aspberger's husband & they suspect my son of malignant narcissism. (certainly amoral) They are very intelligent, very charismatic, loved by most, & tried to have me committed, (which is looking safer). My son tried to kill me at least twice & told the Police I hallucinated. lol They say they want rid of me, but will not provide the means for me to escape. (heck no, I BELONG TO THEM!)
They have XXXXXXX Services in their pockets, & I cannot afford an attorney. I can't find pro-bono, because MY "HUSBAND" MAKES TOO MUCH MONEY.
There are Policemen who know, but their hands are tied - it's DOMESTIC. Fun, huh? Bizarre!
They even forged my IRS.
Return to original doses.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns.
You have encountered really tough situations in life.
ADHD, Depression, panic, Anxiety, cataplexy, lots of investigations and drugs, then their side effects..lot it is!
You were however doing good with adderall, Clonazepam and modafinil.
As soon as your dose was reduced, you could barely function.
Well, I think it was very unprofessional to reduce your doses abruptly. This the main reason that you are unable to function now.
If you could get back to a local psychiatrist to give you a valid prescription of those drugs with earlier doses, I think you would be better.
This platform, unfortunately, does not allow us to write prescriptions.
However, if you need any further advices, I will be available in future as well.
Wish you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Shubham Mehta, MD(Psychiatry).
