I need help
On January 16 my husband had two heart attacks and had to have quadruple by pass surgery.
needless to say I'm stressed to the max. my doctor put me on clonazepam it made me want to hurt somebody I was so agitated.and I have lost 16 lbs thru all of this don't want to loose any more weight. can't sleep.
so then he changed me to lorazepam a little better but I cry all the time this is just to much stress with Curtis and my boss is not being very helpful. so now I called him and he has taken me of the clonazpen and put me on celexa and buspirone along with the lorazepam.I feel like I'm going to loose my mind along with being a drug addict. I know other people are going thru rough times but I ask you to please pray for me and my family that I will get thru this without being put into a mental hospital. if you know any bad things about these meds please let me know.
God Bless all of you

Hi Dorothy,
I am very sorry that you are going through such a hard time. I can completely understand and relate to your loved one going through quadruple by pass surgery. My mom had the same surgery and it was very rough on the entire family. She is doing much better now however the healing and recovery process is very long and intense and does take a toll on everyone. I know that things are looking bleak at the moment, but I believe you have a tremendous amount of strength and courage and I am certain that you will overcome this.
As for your medication issues, I have never taken any of those medicines so I am unable to offer any personal experience information. Is it possible that you could call Dr. Spaws office and explain your current situation and let them make a referral for you?
Dorothy, this is a good thing to reach out and let someone know you need help….Is it possible to make that call? Do you still attend the support groups at your WLS center? I remember that you did at one time and I didn’t know if you still had those contacts..
I'm so sorry that you are going through so much. I am on antidepressants as well because I have chronic depression, but it took a while for the doctor (a psychiatrist) to finally hit upon the right mix of meds for me. I agree with Tina. Call your WLS clinic and ask them for a referral. They would know who best to help you through this challenging time. In the meanwhile, know that I am praying for you and your husband.
Take care,
Rebecca
