    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      First had experience with depression when I lost relatives that were close to me - can't deal with loss well- and I have always hated school when I was in it, and have had panic attacks since I was in Elementary school. I have had periods where I just would stay in bed.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      Seemed to call me down a bit in social situations, no panic attacks. Took me out of a mild depression. I seemed a bit more normal on Cymbalta, but it does seem like a very mild drug - probably best used in conjunction with another medication.
      Lexapro Not Working
      Used it for a while a couple years ago - made me feel zoned out and totally insane at times.
      Xanax Somewhat Helpful
      With a large enough dosage - can make you not care about certain things - but a lot of times it breaks through - especially with the .25 "tic-tac" xanax
      Reading Working / Worked
      just got into reading again at it helps
      Pets Working / Worked
      my cats are always there to comfort me
      Remeron Working / Worked
      Seems to be helping a lot.

    • Close Shyness

      Treatments

      Xanax Not Working
      Just makes me zone out and sink into my head even further - but with a slight feeling of comfort.
      Remeron Working / Worked
      I feel less introverted.

    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      I get into moods where I don't want to do anything, hate everyone, and could care less about anything.

      Treatments

      Remeron Too Soon to Tell
      I get severe mood swings sometimes

    • Open Stress Management

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I work out - I feel good afterwards. Relieves some stress, releases endorphins.

    • Open Panic Attacks

      Treatments

      Xanax Somewhat Helpful
      when i get a panic attack, i make sure to pop a .25. seems to help a little, but may need a stronger benzo or beta-blocker to get this under control
      Magnesium Working / Worked
      Took Natural Calm Magnesium and has worked wonders! Just started Magnesium w/SRT, supposed to be better! Greatly reduced panic attacks and I've always had normal magnesium levels!
      Abilify Not Working
      Pets Working / Worked
      my cats are always there to comfort me
      Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
      sometimes works - but when i am really bad it can sometimes freak me out even more
      Remeron Too Soon to Tell
      I get less panic attacks.
      Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
      Keeps the panic at bay - can still feel anxiety, but it definitely calms me down
