    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've suffered from major depression since 1998- attempted suicide in 2005 and now here I am.. taking one day at a time..

      Treatments

      Celexa Working / Worked
      Works FABULOUSLY for me~ Although I HAVE to take it every day because it doesn't build up in the system, it makes me HUMAN!!!
      Cymbalta Not Working
      It worked for roughly the first month, then I became extremely depressed while on it and quit taking it- after 2 weeks I attempted suicide- I don't recommend it.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I must look at the good things, no matter how small.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
