Latest update - August 2013

It is now almost a year and a half off Xanax.   I'm doing well.  Apparently my paruresis had a physical element to it -- a narrow bladder neck.   I'm still off Xanax and still on Cymbalta and Zyprexa.   I can see the Zyprexa as it's a mood stabilizer and my mood has been anything but stabilized.   I recently asked my psychiatrist for a medication review and he refused saying I needed to be on EXACTLY what I'm on now with no changes.  That doesn't rub me right so when I saw my primary care doctor and told him what happened,  we agreed he'd help me find a new psychiatrist.   After a couple false starts, I believe we have found him.   In addition to Cymbalta and Zyprexa i'm also on a blood pressure medication, Provigil to keep me awake when I'm at work, and i take a very low dose of Klonopin before I go to bed as I also have sleep apnea.  I'm not getting younger so I have learned I have to take good care of myself so I can be of use to my girl. :)
