    • Close Depression

      Suffered dysthymia most of my life. Diagnosed with depression and starting taking medication for it when I was 22 or 23.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      It didn't NOT work, but there were other options out there that worked better.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      The first antidepressant I was proscribed and 20 years later I am taking it again.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Worked in that we talked about a number of issues so that my suffering from them lessened and therefore were less of a catalyst for my depression.
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      Have been taking it for at least a decade...now just as needed. I take it to help me sleep.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      At age 40, I thought I had met "the one". Within two 2-1/2 months of meeting him (through friends) I moved across the country to live with him. Now 2 years later, it is over. We are still living under the same roof since I can't afford an apartment on my own until I get a job--a search for which is goinng very slowly.
