    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      "Came Out" at 17. At 18 I woke up with numbness on my right side of body. After the doctor tested for Diabetes, MS, brain tumors, stroke, thyroid, and heart attack, he found out it was anxiety / depression. Initially put on 10mg of Prozac, then 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. After 3 years I quit taking it. Year later w/ no meds had a major anxiety attack. Put on Lexapro 20mg. Worked great at first. 2 years later had major problems with my relationship went up to 40mg. Now back to 20mg.
