    • Close Depression
      Type: Seasonal Affective Disorder

      sad most days , on meds, i don't think doctor has found the right one yet perhaps it's just the dosage, used alchol with the meds , found out how bad that was, besides it was not long lasting ,woke up in the am even worse, bi polar is in the family brother and sister also have it. My uncle killed homself, although i think it was just clinical depression he had.seems to be worse in the winter months for me.

      Treatments

      Desipramine Somewhat Helpful
      I still have good and not so good days i pretty well know from the moment i wake up , what kind of day i'm going to have.although i am in Theraphy i think a good support group, could be benificial
      Remeron Working / Worked
      well it was great at first now i think i need to ask the doctor to up my dose or maybe try something new.I still fell anxiety and panic attacks, does anyone no of over the counter pain releviers, interact with this drug please let me know , this is important!
      Writing Working / Worked
