About Me
Difficult childhood: authoritarian parents who were alcoholic/enabler. Controlling marriage, undermining to me. Divorced now for 4 years, living on my own for the first time. I have a 10 yr old son and 2 dogs. Have been diagnosed with depression for the past few years but have a new pdoc and told her I think I'm BP II with probably Adult ADD mixed in. I like my new pdoc A LOT.

Treatments
- Celexa Not Working
- Worked for 3-4 months and then lost its affect.
- Geodon Not Working
- Had horrible side effect with this one- a sort of internal sonic boom, a noise and sensation of a sonic boom coming at me and then through me, especially when i would start to fall asleep.
- Lamictal Too Soon to Tell
- Just started this one now, June 2008
- Seroquel Not Working
- This was very sedating for me, even just half a pill taken the night before.
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- This may have helped, hard to tell.

Controlling, authoritarian parents. Controlling, undermining husband. On my own now. Struggle with anger.

I've not been diagnosed with Adult ADD but I see the symptoms often: easily distracted, constantly forgetful (even moment to moment), wanting to do too many things at once and doing none of them because I can't decide, etc.
Treatments
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- if it was helpful it wasn't overtly obvious
