Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionThis is my 2nd bout of depression at only 18yrs f age. Everything gets too much sometimes.
Treatments
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- It worked on my 1st bout but I also think leaving high school helped. This 2nd round the side-effects hit me hard. I felt even worse; which i didn't think was possible. I was sleeping a lot more and not eating much.The only positive of that was that I lost weight.The symptoms of my depression also got worse. All this is normal apparently. Side-effects have subsided now.
Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Diagnosed with IBS when I was 15. Had it for 3 yrs. I go through periods of being fine then it is really bad; usually from stress.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Onions used to affect me but now they don't. I try to avoid too much caffiene and alcohol.
- Buscopan Not Working
- Just a smaller dose of the Mebeverine I've been taking since diagnosis and too small to contribute to the Mebeverine.
- High Fiber Diet Working / Worked
- In my experience this keeps me regular and limits the bloaty, gassy constipation but be careful of having too much as it can have the opposite effect!lol
- Imodium Working / Worked
- Sometimes I use this when it flares up and if I have to go out but if i'm staying in then I let it run it's course.
- Mebeverine Working / Worked
- works in conjunction with avoiding certain foods. helps stop the bloating in my experience.
- Peppermint Considering
- Heard that peppermint helps so I'm going to try it. I've got some peppermint tea to try.
- Probiotics Considering
- Probiotic yoghurt worked for my mum who also has it so I am going to try some also.
