PTSD, Suicidal, Hallucination. Tried Buspar And Seroquel. Should I Try Mood Stabilizers?

Hi my name is Brianna, I m 20 years old and have a one year old daughter. I m married but my husband is in the military so its impossible for him to ever be home. I have a few issues mentally and I m terrified it s going to get out of hand and start scarig my daughter and I ve never been prescribed a medication that helps without side effects that effect daily life. I have tried anti depressants but they make me suicidal, hallucinate or really fat. I ve tried mood stabilizers but they work the first 2 months and somehow stop. I ve tried buspar which gives me electric shocks and seroquil which makes me too tired to be able to wake up and do what I need to do with my daughter . I m unsure what to look into, I know I have ptsd and thats where my issues stem from, but is there even a cure aside from therapy which I do over the phone? What should I do to take precautions so my daughter doesnt experience what I went through with my mother? I m not sure where else to turn aside from this website. I m not REALLY crazy all the time, but when I lose it I can t bring myself back without being self destructive and I feel like I m about to spiral. I dont know what to do to be the mother my daughter deserves. Any advice ? a pressure point or anything ? I know I sound desperate but I don t know where else to turn .

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your problem. I suggest you not to worry too much. You are sure that you have PTSD but you don't know how to come out of it. Then I confirm that you do not know what is PTSD. I am sorry to say this. You should have given here what is traumatic experience you underwent.

Second, Every person goes through some traumatic experience in his or her life time. And most of those people don't even know what is PTSD. May I ask how they tackle the situation? Any idea? Every such people go for advice from elders and elders say that it is very normal. They talk to those people and motivate them and they come out of that situation within 2 months or so.

In your case, you are carrying the so called PTSD with you. The problem is not a brief case, to carry with you. leave it aside and concentrate on your life. Using psychotropic drugs without proper prescription is dangerous. Please see a psychiatrist or psychologist for further advice.

You might need psychological counseling., I am more than happy to provide telephone psychological counseling through healthcaremagic. Contact me through customer care, www.healthcaremagic.com.

hope this clears your doubts. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
