    • Close Depression
      : Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was on Zoloft for 2 years-it worked great. It suddenly stopped working and for the past year I've tried several different medications, none of which have worked. I've also had substance abuse problems, which I am dealing with as well.

    • Close Anxiety

      I've had anxiety for as long as I can remember, along with depression.

      BuSpar Working / Worked
