I'm on the brink of a mental break down.  Had it out with my daugher again today.  Once she got out of my face, I did what I could to calm down, but my heart was racing my while body was shaking I had a pain in my chest and it felt like my blood was boiling.  I called my PCP and the receptionist put the dr on the phone right away.  She ruled out a heart attack over the phone but from what I told her in my last two appointment and this current episode, she is puting me on a low dose tranqulizer.  It sure has calmed me down, but it's made me a bit dizzy.  She only gave me a three day supply to see how I react to it.  I can't see myself taking it during the day when I have all the kids.  I seem to walk around here like a drunken sailor.  Maybe it'll help me get a good nights rest.  We shall see.

Ahhh this teenager of mine is going to be the death of me...

maybee a zoloft vs a tranquilizer would be a better long term medication.   I haven't taken it, my girlfriend had way too many things on her plate felt it helpful.  rounded out the edges and life didn't see so over whelming on some days.

I hope you truly do feel better...I know how teenagers can be.    My nephew lived with me last year when he "couldn't " live at home.

Hi Joan,

Isn't zoloft and anti-depressent?  I don't know how I'd react to it, but years and years ago when I had a tramatic experience my doctor put me on prozac and I hated how that made me feel.  I felt flat.  No emotion what so ever.  So if zoloft would do that to me, than I don't want that.

As far as my daughter goes, I don't want to give up on her, but I am thinking about seeing if there is some kind of respite for her to go because honestly there are many many days that I can not handle her.  It is probably due to the fact that I do not know enough about bi-polar and the warning signs of a melt down coming.  Everything with her is an argument.  She's extremely stubburn and refused to admit any wrong doing.  She cares about herself and only herself and doesn't care if anyone else gets hurt in the meantime whether it be emotionally or physically.  I really am at my wits end and don't know what to do.
