I have a hard time falling asleep sometimes depending on my mood somtes people say I'm talking to much I'm currently on limictal, Xanax,and addarall
Brief Answer:
need to revise treatment
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for the reply.
From the description of your current symptoms I could understand that your are experiencing mood swings associated with irritability and general anxiety.
Your medical history of Xanax, adderall, are supportive to the mood disorder.
Considering all these information i would suggest following
1)Revision of treatment. I would suggest an addition of a mood stabiliser drug can be discussed with your treating consultant.
2)May i know since long you have been prescribed these drug. Since how long are you taking Adderall. what was the reason for which you had been started on adderall.
3)one will need to work up in detail regarding other stressors that are perpetuating the illness. Here i would suggest to meet up some local psychologist with whom you can discuss your history, familial and interpersonal problems. A regular sessions of Cognitive Behaviour therapy can be very helpful. But of course it would be a supportive treatment as the mainline of management would be the psychiatric drugs.
4)I would suggest you consult a local psychiatrist with whom yo can discuss on above issues on treatment modification and as the doctor will require to elicit mental status examination to see for objective signs. It is only after a comprehensive work up one can have a specific diagnosis. However, with all the information we have got I hope my suggestion will prove helpful to you.
Proper medication and compliance can lead to stable life.
Feel free for further queries.
Thank you.
