    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Major depression, OCD, and other anxiety issues. . .

      Treatments

      Seroquel Working / Worked
      50mg. Used to make me tired, but all the side effects went away around 5 weeks of taking it. When I came off of it, the withdrawl was intense even though it was a gradual reduction. I shake less now though!
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      Gets me the sleep I can't get on my own. But at 100mg, I was needing 16 hours. 50mg works for now.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Started 1/3/08; up 10mg at a time to 200mg; still waiting to loose interest in sex. . .I haven't yet! And haven't tried to see about the delayed O. Almost all OCD issues gone and most depression issues better. But, not touching my anxiety! 5/15 lowered to 150mg.
    • Close Anxiety

      Phobias and panic attacks take over when I am alone with my thoughts. As long as I am responsible for someone else, I cope. But alone. . .

    • Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      Diagnosed 12/17/07. Thought all my counting and graphic death thoughts were just my quirky personality. How'd I miss this?

      Treatments

      Seroquel Working / Worked
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      It helps SO MUCH with my intrusive thoughts, counting, and rechecking. But, that's what made me so fun! However, I do not miss the graphic death thoughts!!
    • Open Raynaud's Disease

      Had Raynaud's as long as I can remember. I used to get into trouble for not staying outside long enough. It really interferes with my job. But, while under the weight of depression, I revel in the pain it brings.

    • Open Panic Attacks

      They are stopping my life! Driving is exhausting, being touched sets one off. I am getting worse in public places. I fear not being able to work.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
    • Open TMJ

      TMJ sucks. The bite guard doesn't always do enough. I am tired of having to go on a "soft" food diet from time to time, but, I know nothing else to do.

      Treatments

      Mouthguard Working / Worked
      Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't do anything.
    • Open Arthritis

      Well, this sucks!

      Treatments

      Naproxen Working / Worked
    • Open Fibromyalgia

      still figuring this one out. . .

      Treatments

      Heat Working / Worked
