Anhedonia and Executive Dysfunction are Ruining My Life. Please Help.
This is the list of all of the psych meds I’ve been on since I was 14 and I’m now 25F. I was originally diagnosed with MDD and ADHD until I was around 19 and the list started growing.
My current diagnoses/misdiagnoses are: BPD, bipolar type 2, OCD, PTSD, c-PTSD, GAD, panic attacks, and an episode of psychosis.
Some were diagnosed more than once by different psychiatrists, some were diagnosed during my 3 different psychiatric hospital admissions (all voluntary), and some have just been diagnosed once by a single psychiatrist.
I honestly don’t know what issues I actually have and which ones just overlap with a different diagnosis, but I know for a fact that anhedonia and executive dysfunction are ruining my life at the moment.
My current psychiatrist is refusing to adjust my medications right now because I’ve been having low potassium and she wants that stabilized first.
The psychiatrist I was under care of for the longest did suggest electroconvulsive therapy to me before he passed away. And I’m so miserable I may actually look into that again.
My current psych has recommended Spravato/ketamine a few times but during those times I was not nearly as miserable as I am now and I was too concerned about missing work twice a week for treatment. But now I do not care, what’s the point of living and working when you’re miserable every waking moment? But she will not submit my paperwork until my potassium is stabilized.
So I’m looking for any and all ideas, solutions, and remedies to fix my mind. Or to at least improve it.
Right now I am taking:
Lexapro 20mg once a day
Adderall XR 30mg (4-5 days a week)
Xanax 1mg (1-3 times a week)
Sunosi 75mg (4-5 days a week)
Nothing is even working so I’m not really following that regimen except Lexapro bc I don’t want to deal with tapering off of it right now.
Please help.
