do anyone cannot stand up in the morning because of late nightmares, it is not nightmares because i am waked up but so panics and kind of nightmares but i already have my eyes opened, i have to wait in my bed to reassure me for one or two hours, i feel like it is confused thoughts of the past, the present , all mixed up for instance subjects as politics, my past, inner fears, always in the morning and half woken up in me head, it is awful ....what is it??? my day is ruined because of this, thank you; someone like me...what is this awfulness

    Hi Anne

    when your brain generates intrusive and mixed up thoughts it's usually down to anxiety. You may not recognise your anxious but your body will. It's almost like your brain is on a loop system inundated with all kinds of thoughts and fears. It's important for you to see your doctor and tell them what is happening with you mainly in the mornings. Don't let this situation continue to impact on your life.

    God bless

    Lorraine ?

      thnaks lorraine,

      ​i forgot to tell the doctor as i always focus on something else when i see him, but i told him this one time he put me on risperdal 0.5, i took it once i could not stand it, he did not believe me , and i dont want an antipsychotic....you are right, but i feel like i am becoming a mad person....he told me to take prazepam, but i dont like it as i am sleepy, thank you to reassure me that i m not mad , doctors do not explain really and i feel like feeling alone; thanks

    It might be your adrenals acting up. natural process is adrenals producing stress hormones in the morning. Try driking sme warm water with salt in the morning. This helps calm the adrenals.

    sounds like a reaction to the drugs , the balance appears to be affected plus the nightmares suggest an adverse reaction.

    You will not et relief until you take medications as I described in your past two posts.

    Yes the medications can cause side effects until you become used to them. You need to give these drus time to work, upwards of four weeks. You need to take control of your conditiom, with Medications and an course of treatment you may be able to take control of your fears and an associated depression type.

    We are here to help as is your Doctor, sad to say pushing medications away will just not help in your Conditions control. Medications are the first pathway we all need to follow

      Anne Trust me please I am a professional person who has advised many , many hundreds f people. You appear to me to be badly affected by lamictal. The adverse reaction is obvious but I am not really supposed to say that!!

      If you keep a diary of the times and dates when you commenced this drug plus the onset of these serious sidee fefects then that will be something the dr would be interested in. You say that the dr does not believe you. I sufffest putting your signs and symptoms in writing and sending a letter to your GP.

      That  cannot be ignored.

      The anti epileptic drugs are very potent as I stated previously and no one can dismiss what you say and pressurise ou into putting something detrimental into your body.

      ​The patient has the right to be treated with respect and also safely. The fact thta thus drug is causing balance issues puts you at risk of falling then there are the additional issues such as pain, discomfort, anxiety, eye rolling. These are issues that cannot be dismissed or overlooked.

      A neurologist would discontinue thie drug instantly. Has your dr discussed referring you to a neurologist re the balance issues?

      I am qualified to give my opinion.

      it in writing and request it be inserted in yur medical records.

      Bob These side effects are serious and any dr/neurologist/psychiatrist worth his salt would discontinue the drug. ANxiety is also caused by some medications attacking the gaba receptors in the brain. These drugs need discontinuing in order for the gaba receptors to recover that is whhy it is vital to discontinue any drug suspected of causing adverse reactions.I worked in an Immunology speciality so have the relevant experience to write what I have written in order that people do not become damaged by drugs. Take care xx

      I do not know what to advise now except thta the sooner you get off this drug the beetter as far as your side effects are concerned.

      ​The GP must be able to initiate a withrawal programme. Most drugs are tapered slowly but in an emergency the dr will taper more quickly but possibly as an in patient. Have you tried to find out about tapering of lamactil? The damge is reversible .This is phe dr may even check blood levels of lamictaal as well.

      Who referred you to the neuro. You did not mention this before.

      If it wa done due to the side effects then the appointment should b brought forward.

      do not worry , i decided alone to make an appontment with the neuro, and take an appointment for january to another psychiatrist, i just have to be patient, i wont taper the medecine alone if i am not told to do it as it can be worse, i have seen my psychiatrist yesterday and he let the drug, so i ll see someone else , it will take one month to have an appointment, thank you , good evening as in France it is time to eat, a thing that i can appreciate at least!

      yes because it avoids me to fall totally into deep depression (although i am still) but i complaint before being on the meds that i was dizzy for severral months that is why he doesnt think it is the drug, i understand him of course because it is true, but the medecine is worsening the problem and we have tried several drugs that is why he does not know what to do now

      If the drug makes you dizzy as well as all the other side effec ts then it makes sense to Why did u self refer to the neurologist?
