    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      My doctor thinks I developed depression from the pain. I think that I have always had depressive tendancies - if that makes sense.

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      Dry mouth - bad!
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      Writing Working / Worked
      I find getting the words out of my head to be very theraputic, even if no one but me sees them.
      Depakote Working / Worked
      This really stablized my mood after starting on the effector.
    • Close Anxiety

      Treatments

      Effexor Too Soon to Tell
    • Open Chronic Pain

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Somewhat Helpful
      Lyrica Somewhat Helpful
      Temporary relief - keep having to increase dose My doctor has decided to start getting me off it - the pain is coming back though. Got off it for good. Damn insurance doesn't cover it and it got too expensive for me.
      Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Got a new physio who actually has a clue what he is doing. Awesome, but super expensive
      TENS Somewhat Helpful
      Neurontin Somewhat Helpful
      We switched to this from the Lyrica as it will hopefully have less side effects and it costs less.
    • Open Insomnia

      Treatments

      Lunesta Somewhat Helpful
      (zopiclone) It takes much longer than it should to knock me out (1-2 hours vs 15 minutes)
      Pamelor Somewhat Helpful
      Who really knows.
    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      Treatments

      Depakote Somewhat Helpful
      Dry mouth (epival)
    • Open Myofascial Pain Syndrome

      Treatments

      Lyrica Working / Worked
      on a fairly high dose 450mg a day but it works. side effects kinda suck dry mouth especially. Off the lyrica now, too many side effects.
      Neurontin Too Soon to Tell
      Switched to this from Lyrica supposedly a cousin which will have less side effects and costs a heck of a lot less.
