      Support Groups Too Soon to Tell
      Just started attending local www.nami.org meetings
      Topamax Too Soon to Tell
      my hair is falling out and my nose is numb but my butt is out of bed. That is good, right??!?
      Scrapbooking Working / Worked
      when I get off my butt and actually do it it is very relaxing
      Music Working / Worked
      I tend to play the same song over and over again. It comforts me somehow
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      Loved how I felt. Couldn't deal with the 30 lb "seroquel belly" I gained in 30 days. All I could think about was eating!!
      Abilify Somewhat Helpful
      When I ran out I stopped taking it and the only difference I noticed was I was now sleeping better
      Sleep Working / Worked
      Sleep is my "cure all". I hide under the covers and nothing can hurt me
      DailyStrength Working / Worked
      Brought "friends" into my world and saved my life. Thank you to whomeveer came up with the idea of Daily Strength
      Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
      Used to prevent acne
      Helping Others Working / Worked
      Helps me feel better for sure
      Walking Working / Worked
      workes wonders when I can get my butt out of the house and around the block to do it
      Caffeine Working / Worked
      I drink a cup of tea before bed sometimes. It relaxes me. I have no idea how caffeine can relax me but it does
      Elavil Working / Worked
      This worked when Trazadone and Benadryl failed to. Like Seroquel, I think it gives me the munchies. I take a low dosage and try to get to bed before I can raid the 'fridge.
