[QUOTE="Steely, post: 470051, member: 3301"] Well Matt is a complicated creature - for sure. All anti anxiety medications make him get suicidal. I mean - within 6 hours he is holding his head screaming. doctors have tried them over and over again with him - and every single time it makes his mood worse. He also took a whole bottle after his Aunt died in a suicide attempt, which in another reason I would not want him to have them. They cause him to be so much a mess that he now tells doctors that he is "allergic" to them, cause he kinda is. He also tells them he is allergic to steroids which is also true - because they make him extremely manic. medication wise - he is very very difficult. He did do OK on Effexor so I am wondering if a SNRI might work again? I don't know. I believe almost all of this is PTSD and anxiety related - and if he won't go to therapy this is going to be a hard road. I will do a search and see if they have any clinics in his area that specialize in this. He seems to think he is the only one that has this problem - and I just chuckled - I was like Matt that is why there is a NAME for it! Many people have this!!! So what might help some is if he could get connected to other people that struggle with this. As far as a job from home - the problem is that he has no job skills. He has to get into some sort of vocational program or something that will facilitate his life in a forward motion. Sigh....... [/QUOTE]
