      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Been struggling with depression for many years.

      Treatments

      Celexa Too Soon to Tell
      Lexapro Not Working
      Did not help at all.
      Paxil Working / Worked
      Did not work at all.
      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      This did work for a while. It was helpful and made me feel much better but it started zoning me out too much and then the depression started getting worse.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Therapy was beginning to really work. I had a wonderful therapist but I lost my insurance and I could not afford to keep going.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      Did not work.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      Writing sometimes helps.

      Don't have any good meetings around where I live.
      AA Meetings Not Working
      No good meetings around where I live
      Cold Turkey Working / Worked
      Never went to treatment. Just stopped drinking. Took several attempts but with the help of AA and the tools they gave me I have been able to stay sober.
    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      Just getting started here. Not really sure what to expect. Just want off the rollercoater

      Treatments

      Prozac Too Soon to Tell
      Started on 20mg daily today
      Atarax Working / Worked
      25mg three times a day. Only had one dose today but it brought me down from a manic state very quickly
    • Open Coming Out

      I have known I was a lesbian for many years but I tried to be straight. I have been married twice and when the second marriage didn't work I swore no more. I am going to be who I am but I have still not been able to come out to my family. I am very much in the closet and wanting to someday be able to come out.
