      Feb. 14, 9:24 p.m. I'm feeling very sad, like I'm grieving. I don't really know why it's so bad today. My chest hurts with the pain of the sadness.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Have been disabled since 94. Have tried everything to get well. Recently had knee surgery. Can't get physically and mentally on my feet.

      Treatments

      Paxil Not Working
      Have tried prozac, xanax, cymbalta. Nothing helps. Tried weekly counseling.
      Cymbalta Not Working
      Didn't help at all. Had to switch back to paxil
      Prozac Considering
      I thought it wasn't working, but looking back, I guess it was helping more than I thought. I'm thinking of getting back on it.
    • Close High Cholesterol

      My cholesterol is high. Has been for years, I'm on and off meds. I suffer from depression that hinders my eating habits.

      Treatments

      Crestor Not Working
      I have arthritis and fibromyalgia and this med increased my joint pain.
      Zetia Working / Worked
      Don't know why I got off this, but am going to get back on it.
    • Open Fibromyalgia

      Have had fibro since 1990. Worked until 94 and have been disabled since. I have tried everything that came down the pike, diet changes, meds, massage, accupuncture, meditation, yoga, exercising in water, and my problem is, it may work for a while and I get excited that I'm better and then whatever it is that was helping, just stops helping. I get depressed and dealing with that detracts from everything else. It's a cycle. I'm now in the depression phase. Help!

      Treatments

      5-HTP Not Working
      Just didn't help.
      Acupuncture Working / Worked
      Helped for a little while.
      Aqua Therapy Working / Worked
      Moved from area and now have no access to it.
      Cyclobenzaprine Somewhat Helpful
      Stopped helping.
      Cymbalta Not Working
      Worsened symptoms.
      Elavil Not Working
      Made me gain even more weight.
      Melatonin Working / Worked
      If I don't have insomnia really bad, this helps. But when I have severe insomnia, it doesn't.
      Heat Working / Worked
      Couldn't live without it.
