My name is Serena. I suffer from anxiety depression bipolar and ptsd., I also have physical chronic pain. My doctor recently lost his practice. They took me off my meds all at once because they were not allowed to give any more medications out. I was on Xanax. I am on Prosaic, but I have no doctor and no health coverage. I need help. I can't cope with everyday life issues. I am a full time student online, but I am having trouble concentrating.

Hello.Bipolar disorder is a chronic pathology that requires medication for life.
Never can stop the medication abruptly.You need to take an anxiolytic, an antidepressant and mood stabilizer.Alprazolam, Fluoxetine and Oxcarbazepine taken combined are widely used in the treatment of Bipolar disorder.
Please go to your local specialist,as soon as possible,for a prescription.
I wish you good health.

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

Trouble concentration might be due to
- Symptom of anxiety-depression
- withdrawal of alprazolam

You may consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management. Doctor may re start the medication like fluoxetine or desvenlafaxine or may advise you to go for counselling.

You may get benefit by doing stress management and relaxation exercise like yoga, meditation and breathing exercise.

Thanks.
