  • Support Groups

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have had bipolar symptoms all of my life and have been seen by many doctors. They all have diagnosed me with depression until I started having periods of anxiety. So I basically get angry and irritable when I am manic...the bummer is I am a "mixed bipolar" mostly leaning toward the depression and then short spurts of rotten moods with insomnia. I also have G.A.D. and panic attacks.

      Treatments

      Celexa Not Working
      20 mgs just added to go with the Wellbutrin.Too many panic attacks and anxiety.
      Geodon Working / Worked
      I take 240mg a day and it seems to be helping out quite a bit.
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      Is working at the high dose of 150 mg taken at bedtime
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      Was like taking candy, didn't do crap
    • Close Migraine Headaches

      I have suffered from migraines all my life, but recently went on disabilty because I could never hold down a job with as many migraines that I get. I've had the MRI's and CAT scans and spent may times in th ER only to get shots of demerol and sent home.

      Treatments

      Fioricet Working / Worked
      It only takes the edge off if it is a slight migraine
      Imitrex Working / Worked
      It works right at the beginning of an attack or not at all.
    • Open Alcoholism

      I have recently discovered the cravings for alcohol were a real problem. I somewhat tie that into my bipolar disorder. I just love alcohol too much and I am trying desperatly to avoid the cravings. My husband is in denial and brings home beer every night and I find myself sneaking into the closet or bathroom just to chug a few for a quick buzz. I am not sure if meetings would help me at this point.

      Treatments

      Cold Turkey Too Soon to Tell
      I find I am very irritable and anxious if there isn't alcohol in the house.
      Sleep Working / Worked
    • Open Anxiety

    • Open Phobia

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've taken every antidepressant there is and nothing is working for me, I'm hoping DS will benefit me and will help lift this crying everyday.

      Treatments

      made me anxious
      Effexor Working / Worked
