    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      PPD since birth of daughter 2 years ago, although now it's looking more like MDD that started with the post-partum period.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      Side effects were awful - nausea, etc, so I had to stop it.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I love my therapist. She is very direct and helpful to what I am experiencing.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Anxiety was REALLY BAD on this drug.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Currently taking.
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      I run about 30 miles per week which seems to help in the short term e.g. each day instead of longlasting relief
