Psyciatrist?
Hi there
I'm going to start seeing a psyciatrist. In the past four months my life has been falling apart through multiple horrible ecvents. I don't want to get in detail about it, but basically I'm depressed. Ive started taking Xanax because my dad has them (he let's me don't worry)... They're the only way I can stop myself from crying at night and help me fall asleep. I also hurt physically all the time , like someones been punching me. For this, ive been taking oxycodeine. This I got from my friends, but I'm careful and only use whatsnecessary. So when I start going to see the psychiatrist, what should I say to him so that he'll give me a prescription to both? Please, don't say there are other ways bc I needthis help at this time in my life. Thanks

umm first off you NEED to stop taking other peoples medications.your friends and your dad are not doctors..since i dont know what the events are..the only other advice i can give you is that you should be honest with your psychiatrist.tell him or her everything that has happened,they will give you the right medication.it may take a few times to get it right but you will get the right meds and you will get better. if you need to talk about whats happened to you feel freee to visit my page and leave a question or comment.

First off: Stop taking the Xanax and oxycodeine.
Unless your Dad or friends are doctors, it's dangerous and ILLLEGAL for you to be taking these medications.
I know drugs help, really I do, and anti-depressants can be life savers (they certainly saved my life) but they can also have dangerous side effects and MUST, absolutely MUST be prescribed to YOU by a doctor. Your family doctor could even prescribe them too you, but anything less then that is just stupidly dangerous. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't tell you to STOP doing that.
So STOP IT. When you see your psychiatrist be honest with them. I hope you can also honestly say that you realized it wasn't really safe (and it’s illegal!) so you stopped doing it until you spoke to them! Then ASK the psychiatrist what they would suggest you take. There are many drugs out that are similar to Xanax but with far better reported results, and oxycodeine is a very, very serious and highly addictive drug. They call it 'hillbilly heroine'. I'm sure your psychiatrist can recommend something far safer for you.

Be %100 honest with the psychiatrist. You shouldnt just say things so that he'll give you the prescriptions that you want because those prescriptions might not be what you need. There may be other prescriptions that would work better for you or suit your needs better. If your goal in going to a psychiatrist is to get help and feel better than you need to be honest with him and tell him how your feeling and everything so he can give you what you need to help you.

Hello it is a great step to know you have a problem and realize exactly what it is..have you ever spoken to a professional Psychologist or Psyciatrist before. It is unsafe to utilize others medicine,it may help but you may have a totally different problem/illness than can effect you in unforseen ways..medicine is very complicated and specific. Everyone is affected differently by different medictions whether you have the same illness as another person,becareful. When you begin your sessions with the Psychiatrist you should be very detailed in your description of your symptoms and be up front, try not to hold back although it may be hard,but the doctor needs to know exaxtly what is going on with you so he/she can properly diagnose you. The doctor will know what method of treatment is best,in your case it may be medicine but medicine is not always required,there are a number of different methods of treatment. I know sometimes life is so hard that it seems like medicine is the only way out but medicine is a temporary aid that you can become reliant on. What you want and need is mental growth,it is always best to deal with issues in the present so they wont have a huge effect on you in the future..whatever has happened to you in the past can be worked out,it may take time but it will be well worth it in the future, and hardtimes do not last forever,everything is temporary in this life and everything definitley happens for a reason. I know it is hard to be optomistic at a time like this but just know that things will get better in time,dont hesitate to contact me anytime,I am interested in hearing of your progress.I hope this helped,the best of luck to you! SINCERLY DIAMOND:)

tell the psyciatrist that you want to stop hurting yourself and you feel if you dont get the prescription for both you will hurt yourself a lot one day and that you want to feel alrigt im sure after hearing what you have to say bout your feeling the psyciatrist will give you wat you want.
