Title: Meds Post by: Bo123 on January 29, 2017, 11:44:40 PM Any research or general accepted meds that work for us dealing this ghost of an ex-BPD? I'm sure it varies on symptoms, but usually there is one favored more than the others.
Title: Re: Meds Post by: Hisaccount on January 30, 2017, 12:21:26 PM I didn't find anything when I looked, but I can certainly share my personal experience.
I started taking antidepressants, the generic version of zoloft. Being pretty bad off I was not sleeping, not eating, could not function at work. I was stuck on one thing. Her. I started taking them. In the first week I had some stomach discomfort, which actually was kind of nice because I heart was hurting so with my stomach hurting I had a good excuse. It was days and I could notice a difference. They say it could take 4 weeks to take full effect, I don't think mine took near that long. Being on them now I still get bouts where I feel really tired but wow what a difference. A few times I thought I was ready to get off them then I get another curve ball from the lawyer or friend and glad I stayed on them. The upside is the lows are not as low. The down side is the highs are not as high. I drug my feet because I was afraid I would experience joy or happiness if I started taking them. Or be turned into a zombie. I was wrong, for me it has been a life saver. I am happy. I haven't been this happy in years. I am joyful, thankful and looking forward to the future. I can finally see what she did to me. How horrible she was. As someone else had said you wouldn't try to tough out heart disease or high blood pressure. This is no different. If you are having problems functioning then get some help, go see someone. It changed my life. I have hope. I have no problem running away from her as fast as I can now instead of chasing her. Depression breeds depression. Sometimes you just cannot fix yourself. |
