ptsd New Beginning Registering For Va Mental Health Ptsd Mdd Psychotic Features

[82airborne]

Well today I called the Va to start mental health treatment. I was informed that I needed to register with patient services. So either today or tomorrow I will go to the mental health clinic to begin treatment. So after I go down there and see if I can be seen and helped I will update the results. Prozac seems to only help me be more social. It does nothing for my violent side. So I plan to stay in treatment until I get this mental situation under control.

Anti-psychotic drugs like Seroquel can have profound side effects ....some that are permanent. I took Stelazine 40 years ago given to me by the Army. I had to go to the hospital. I never took it again and I would have to be really batty to ever take that stuff again. If you are having hallucinations then it is fine for a short while.

Ok yeah I have hallucinations and a little more. Im going to try it. Anything is better than the way I am. So I got to give it a try. I'm staying in the house so if anything go bad I'm straight to the emergency rooom

I understand and I am not trying to be wiseguy. I was given anti-psychotics as treatment and they really put a whammy on me. If you need them then you need them. I was thinking of consequences of long term use. I take plenty of drugs that are not really good for me due to chronic pain, depression and anxiety these days. My brain may have been altered by now so it must have these drugs.

Ok so I tried SEROQUEL and I only took a half of a pill I went to sleep whenn I woke up I was having hallucinations hearing things and I felt drunk. It actually scared me. So I might give it another try but seriously the Prozac and the prazosin have me sleeping all night and all afternoon. Also my ankle all the way to my hip is hurting and my middle toes are in pain. I don't know if it's side affects are what. Soooo I see my primary care physician /Psychiatrst June 15 at the VA. IM STILL GOING TO KEEP MY KAISER DOcTOR just for back up. Low key I'm scared the VA will try to kill me. I KOULD be paranoid most likely I am but ooh well I'm not living any way so I might as well try. I just don't know how I got to the point I'm at. I'm loosing friends left to right I guess by the violent things I say. I'm thinking it's normal when they thinking this guy is sick. I don't know. I enjoyed myself fishing in the woods with my dad. I hate coming back to the city. It's to many people. They like a million ants and at times I can't take it. Oh yeah I been taking the prazosin for a week. Nightmares stopped for the first 4-5 days. Then they started coming back after that WIERD WIERD dreams. So the medicine prescribed me to take two after one week then increase at the end of each week until my nightmares are gone. None of these doctors really have done anything to fix my pain just give me meds. I also almost decided just to commit myself after one particular night of rage. But I just stayed at home and decided to wait for my doctors appointment. Also sometimes I think that the va is messing with my head with this service connection. I hope they not jerking my chain that would really upset me. On a brighter note the Prozac made me more better in my relationship with my daughters mother. More loving I guess she is happy I'm taking my pills. Really I do not know how my life is going to end up. I hope everything is cool. I will be glad when they decide the rest of my claim so ican strt making decisions on my life where to go where to live what I can afford. I am very thankful just for these two months I been service connected for my ba and knees and nerve damage. Well I needed to get this stuff out of my head so ican go to sleeee p. HAPPY MEMRIAL DAY SOLDIERS

Well I went to two prazosin and now my DREAMZ have stopped well my nightmares. I am sleeping better in my sleep. I can't remember my entire dreams but I know they are WIERD. Before I went to sleep and I was closing my eyes I heard a scream just one high pitch scream. Then I was seeing black shadows in the dark. The doctor aid said that I was suppose to take seraquel at night before bedtime so idid it wrong. So I'm going to try it again

This is good news. You know for many prozac tends to make sexual relations impossible. You are one of the lucky ones.
