It's difficult to communicate with doctors when you have mental illness. Take someone - preferably your husband - to the doctor with you. It may be easier for him to explain your symptoms in an organized way that the doctor will understand.

Also, don't give up on medication. Previous poster was right - when you find the right one, it will be like a miracle.

I tried about 5 different meds which made me feel crazier. I finally tried Wellbutrin which was my miracle!
