After see a 3rd Psychiatrist today, he diagosed me with despression (which I knew) and Agoraphobia (which I didn't know). I have now gone from my first visit to my family doctor and being told that I am "just not coping" to my 1st Psychiatrist who diagnosed me with to depression, anxiety, panic disorder and social phobia, 2nd Psychiatrist diagnosed me with major clinical depression with anxiety, to my 3rd Psychiatrist today. I am so confused that I don't know what I have or what to treat. I am no longer taking Cipralex, cutting my Remeron in half and tapering off Remeron over the next 3 weeks, and adding Perphenazine which is an Anxiolytic - Antipsychotic - Antiemetic medication. I have never heard of this drug. Has anyone ever taking Perphenazine?
I feel so lost and I have no idea what is wrong. I was due to go back home to Australia with my two daughters and spend Xmas with my family, but I have to postpone my trip. I have been saving up to go and have purchased the tickets, only to find out that I will only get 75% of my fare back as my travel insurance doesn't cover mental or emotional distress/disturbances. This just adds tomy negative thoughts. I really wanted to spend Xmas with my family which I haven't done since 1991. My youngest daughter has never been to Australia and my oldest's last visit was in 1996. There has always been something that got in the way of me going backhome. Now that I finally have a well paid and secure job, paid down all our debt and saved enough money to go and purchased the tickets, now this happens. WHY! WHY! WHY!
