    • Close Depression

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      Oh my God, this stuff is horrible to get off of :-O I felt like I was going out of my mind trying to get off of it. I ended up having to open the capsules and literally COUNT out the tiny beads. Each day I would take 5 less 'beads' until FINALLY I was off ot it. I've heard tons of stories just like it since but sure didn't know at the time.
      Paxil Not Working
      Did nothing except make me even more tired (if that's possible).
      Prozac Working / Worked
      Prozac does a great job on what I call the "dead depression". It takes away the sadness without adding anything. I gained 30 lbs on it and I'm only 5'3" so I ended up going off it because of that. It was alright......took the super-sadness away but I like Wellbutrin better because I have more energy on it.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      I've been on this almost a month. My energy level is through the roof-I get tons of stuff done. The depression is gone, thank God. I take two 150 mg Wellbutrin SR's once a day (around 9 AM). They say to take it twice a day but once a day works perfect for me and doesn't keep me up at night like twice a day did.
      Zoloft Not Working
      Something about this stuff made me extremely ANGRY all the time. P*ssed off to the point of ready to punch someone. Which is scary because I'm a very quiet 48 yr old woman.
    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      Treatments

      Chantix Working / Worked
      AWESOME AWESOME!!!! I smoked for 36 yrs and quit with Chantix after taking it only 10 days. I went ahead and stayed on it a total of 7 wks and quit taking it 2 wks ago.. I do NOT miss smoking-I hate it. People claim they "miss having a cigarette their entire lives" but that's pure crap. Those people dont' understand the psychological triggers. I've been quit a total of 8 wks after 36 yrs of smoking and if I ever think of cigarettes it's to thank God and Chantix that I quit. No side effects.
