Close Depression
: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have suffered from depression and anxiety since I was in high school. Eventually I became addicted to prescription pain pills just to alleviate the mental pain I was in every day. Luckily, I have overcome that, I have been treated by a professional but I still feel like I am getting nowhere. Because of my addiction, I have lost my friends and my job. To date, I can't get a job either. Life's looking a little bleak for me right now and I could definitely use some support.
Treatments
- Effexor Not Working
- Does not seem to be working on the depression. As a matter of fact I have been extremely irritable since I started it
- Paxil Working / Worked
- Worked great. Unfortunately I couldnt keep my weight down and my blood sugar went too high so I had to discontinue.
- Abilify Working / Worked
- Abilify seems to be working to keep my mood stable.
- BuSpar Working / Worked
- Works great on the anxiety. At first I felt very wired but I stuck it out and that side effect went away.
- Lithium Working / Worked
- Works great for mood stablization and to keep me from experiencing manic episodes.
Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Treatments
- Anafranil Too Soon to Tell
- Just started
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Too Soon to Tell
- Just started
- Paxil Somewhat Helpful
- Weight gain shot my blood sugar up and I had to stop
- Xanax Working / Worked
- Treating for the anxiety while the Anafranil builds up in my system? I think? Its working on the anxiety somewhat.
