  • Support Groups

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Been diagnosed with Depression for last 10yrs,kept telling them, but I don't think I'm depressed, I just can't stop crying.

      Treatments

      Celexa Working / Worked
      Worked for awhile
      Group Therapy Not Working
      Did not work, but was too difficult to keep up with 3 groups a week, plus I didn't seem like anyone else there. To me everyone else seemed fine, just depressed. And others were so zombied out on the meds, it made me not want to go on the bipolar meds.
      Holistic Health Working / Worked
      SAM-E, and HTP, and some other amino acids, very helpful and not harmful.
      Topamax Not Working
      Very strange phycotic reaction
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Worked well in combinaiton w/other meds.
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      worked for awhile.
    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      Treatments

      Effexor Too Soon to Tell
      don't remember, didn't know why it was prescribed
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      One year, a long time ago. It helped, but should have continued, thought I was better, but it kept coming up again and again.
      Talking Not Working
      Tired of hearing myself, and reliving it all.
      Topamax Not Working
      scary almost out of body reaction
    • Open Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis

      Treatments

      Asacol Not Working
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      I can't stand the side affects, but only thing that gets flareups under control
    • Open Personality Disorders
      Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

      It's a long long story, i'm tired of telling right now.

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
    • Open Autism / Autism Spectrum

      Treatments

      Behavior Management Working / Worked
      Early Intervention Working / Worked
      Patience Working / Worked
      Play Therapy Working / Worked
    • Open Paranoia

      do i have to?

    • Open Fibromyalgia

      I have had daily muscle aches and pains for apx 9 yrs. Doctors told me over and over again that it was depression(stock answer for everything) it never went away with antidepressants, although vicodin helped. I was finally dx'd with fibro about a month ago.

      Treatments

      5-HTP Somewhat Helpful
      this helped mood, but not pain
      Acupressure Working / Worked
      this helped my pain a great deal, but of course insurance won't cover it. one session would keep me pain free for a few days to a week. I just could no longer afford to pay for it.
      Effexor Not Working
      never worked for pain, made my moods incredibly worse.
      Vitamin B12 Too Soon to Tell
      purchased sublinqual for energy level, had no idea it had an effect on pain
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      it works and also helped my mood. only problem is there are too many druggies around and i must stick with the one doctor who prescribes it. which means i have to sacrifice better specialist in other health areas.
