Suggest medication for Depression and agoraphobia
human
I have been suffering sever pain off and on for 7 years and over this last year it has got to the point that I am stuck in bed for 4 days at a time leading to depression and agoraphobia. I have mild Scoliosis. When I had my first birth it took 13 epidural shots and the could not do. My second birth a csection they tried 20 times and switched to a spinal tape needle. Scraping my spinal area do you fill right or left, right or left 10 times of this tell they where able to hook it. Since the first birth I experienced electric shock shooting through legs. Couldn’t walk, sleep at times. After the second birth had the same symptoms 7 years ago for firth birth, 2 years ago second birth Over this last year I have been suffering greatly. Now I have sever days that last 4 and 5 days where I can’t even lay on my own body. Fells like my bones are cracking from with in. Shooting pain from legs to arms. My joints fingers, wrist, legs, hips all suffer the same pain now. I have gone to therapist for sever depression. Been told is fibromyalgia by therapist only. The doctors in my small town have told me go home take your depression meds. With no test besides blood. I am in sever pain 70% of the time. I have had to apply for disability, I can’t handle working. Never know when my bad days will be. Pain.. I have no leg to stand on for disability, since no proof of pain. Since I have no insurance, little income the doctors think Its not real pain. I have been searching and searching for what might be wrong on line and by chance Arachnoiditis came up after a 6 month search. Could this be, how do I get the doctors to test me to find the cause, and to help!

Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.From what you have stated it is quite clear that you are having a depressive episode. Depression can occur with regular stress and it can also occur biologically without any stress as well. You need proper treatment for the same. There are various effective therapies for depression like fluoxetine, venlafaxine, bupropion, mirtazapine or escitalopram and they are all very effective and mostly safe. You may also require some benzodiazepines like clonazepam or lorazepam for a short period like 2-3 weeks to reduce the anxiety and help with your sleep.  If you are averse to the drug therapies then there is also an option of cognitive behavioural therapy. This therapy is taken by either a psychologist or a psychiatrist in which the therapist identifies impaired cognitions (Thoughts) and try to correct them. They are 15-20 min weekly session and there should be around 8-10 sessions to help you with your illness.Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
