What Is The Treatment For Anxiety,panic,phobias And OCD?

I don't thin k you can, but here goes. I've been on Nardil moai for 23 yrs. It has been a miracle medication for me. It was prescribed for anxiety,panic,phobias,ocd. I was 35. It was nothing short of a miracle. Because I went into mania this moron Dr cold turkeyed me off 90mg a day of Nardil, and 10 mg a day of Valium (on it 40 yrs) and gave me 5mg of Zyprexa and lithium. I was fine for about a month. Then I went down hill slowly compounded by being taken off Zyprexa and lithium. Within 7 months I was Catatonic. I was in severe withdrawals from Nardil and Zyprexa. To make matters worse the same Dr. decided to go with ect. After 6 treatments I gave that up and feel it changed me forever. I'm now on a stable 60mg Nardil and 10mg Val. I'm just not the same anymore. I don't know what to do. I left out much information of what I've been through in the past 5 years. I need a real specialist to hear the whole story.
He/she has to be top notch. I'm not your everyday case

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have bipolar affective disorder and in this case, you need mood stabilizer as well as Nardil. That would give you same psychological balance, which you had before. For mood stabilizer, you have to consult a psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
