    • Close Hiatal Hernia

      I had pain in my upset abdominal area for years. Everyone thought it was just gas or just nerves. But I knew what it felt like to be bloated and be nervous. Finally the summer just after my senior year of high school i couldn't even work at my job. so i quit that day and called up the doctor right away. We began doing all sorts of different tests. Finally, in November of last year i was diagnosed with a (rather large) hiatal hernia.

    • Close Depression

      I just don't remember the last time I felt truly happy or good. I don't have a tragic story or have a horrible life or anything. I don't know why i never feel happy or anything. -- I'm doing much better!!

      Treatments

      Paxil Working / Worked
      :) I was only on 20mg and I felt so normal! I did not feel great at first, or overly peppy or anything, but I liked it that way! I felt so normal! But it just made me so sleepy. It didn't matter what time of day I was taking it, i was still just so tired all the time.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      I haven't started taking it yet because I have to ween myself off of Paxil first. But my mom is on a low dose of Prozac and it works really well for her so I'm hoping it will be good and it will be nice not being so tired all the time!
    • Open Panic Attacks

      Most attacks happen in the morning when I wake up. I just can't get out of bed whether I have school or work or if it's any other day. Most often if I have school or work. Even if school/work is going great though and I enjoy it, I will still wake up sometimes with panic attacks. I don't understand it.
