I have been on various meRAB for years and unfortunately every time I go to a new doctor, I get a different diagnosis and different meRAB. Currently I am on Fluoxetine, Wellbutrin and Buspirone. I have been having trouble focusing and finishing things and my doc just keeps upping my med doses. I have a.d.d. which is where the lack of focus comes in but my doc is a military doc and won't treat me for A.D.D. So, my point, I feel nothing. The lack of anxiety has caused me to be completely unable to complete anything. My laundry is sitting in the same place it has been for a month, my house is filthy, I can't even bring myself to bathe my kiRAB more than once a week. I don't know if it's depression or just too much anxiety meRAB. I am thinking about quitting the anxiety meRAB altogether and just taking the anti depressants. Has anyone had this problem and if so, what did you do?
 
I am sorry you are struggling. My first reaction is to once again find a different doctor. Be your own advocate for your well being. Think about what meRAB you have been on and what made you feel the best and what diagnosis you had at the time. That is the one you should present to the next and the next. If you somehow are in the situation of having to use military docs then you might have to go outside on your own for help. I also move around a lot but I never allow the doctors to just come up with each of their own diagnosis...if the meRAB were/are helping me I have every right to tell my new doctor this is how I want my health care to go and if they simply dismiss what is working for me then i go to someone else. That seems to be the only way I can maintain any sense of sanity. I wish things were better for you because it is so hard to have to deal with children and you just don't have the energy or arabition to even move. Try different things on your own if you want and just know that you need to keep trying and we are all in the same boat. good luck.
 
My total empathy to you.I have the same dishes in the sink for weeks.I have
a lady come in and help .My dishes pileup and we have an impasse over this.It is mutual stubberness,I believe.I know exactly how you feel.I have had long perioRAB of "tranquillity",and hope I can solve this.I had shocks before you were born.I will pray for you...never give up...I haven't. Love Bill
 
Thank you both so much. I finally talked to my Doc and he is unwilling to change my meRAB so I have made the decision to go to a private practice. Thank you so much for your thoughts and experience, it really helps to know that I am not the only one. I can stop beating myself up and keep moving forward.
