Anybody had a similar experience? What was the outcome? We’ve changed meds and gone for second opinions, its been a year and she suffers everyday. She’s not improving to the point now where she was getting psyychotic so they put her on olanzepine. Now she is cycling between a good day and a bad day. On a good day she is depressed and hardly getting out of bed. Bad days, she is extremely anxious, asking reassurances and feels she has been pulled back in time. She is refusing talk therapy and our family is really exhausted trying to take care of her. She had 2 hospital stays which made her worse.
