Suggest Treatment For Stress And Depression

My daughter, 43, came off Effexor and abiligy about 5 yrs ago with serious amts of stress and withAdrawal issues because her new husband wanted to have children and thought she should not take them. Now she is athe point of hearing voices and imaging things that people know a bout her or are going to sue her. Her MSW has recomened a phychiatric aprn who want to put her on Pristiq but her insurance will only pay for Lexipro or something like that. She is hesitant on taking anything but she knows she needs something. I thought she might try an ADD med so she could get her thoughts together and focus. We need help.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. In your description You said your daughter is hearing voices and imagining things other tell about her. Those are clear symptoms of after depression and anxiety, delusions and paranoia. I think she is having delusional disorder. In that scenario, she cannot be treated for ADD, and therefore ADD medications are strictly a no no. Efflexor is also NO. You should work with your psychiatrist for a better prescription for the diagnosis. Please donot indulge in self treatment. Also consult a psychologist for psychotherapy treatment.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
