    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Pain causes depression. Depression causes pain. They feed off of one another. Add Fibromyalgia pain and it took me over the edge. It took one year to crawl back out of the hole. But I feel well now. Not cured, just very well managed now.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Not Working
      No offense at all for those this process helps but I was totally offended to the point of finding it stupid. But, this program has helped thousands so do not hesitate to try it!
      Cymbalta Not Working
      Lithium Working / Worked
      This has been a life savor for getting my moods under control due from depression and menapause. Im on the lowest dose. Very aggrevation to be on though as you have to have a blood test every month to make sure your salt levels do not get too high.
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      Paxil Not Working
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Maybe I just haven't found the right person.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      The best thing that has helped me sleep. I love it. No side affect or left over groggy feeling. It actually does not even put me to sleep, only helps me go to sleep. I don't understand this considering I have extreme insomnia.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My husband is the best!
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      Helped me sleep for a while.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Working great. No side affects. I take it a.m and p.m. and it does not cause sleepiness or inability to sleep.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I totaly lose myself when writting.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Stopped working just before my breakdown
