      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      Worked great just couldn't afford the almost $200 a month for it anymore.
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Helped but due to side effects switched to Cymbalta.
      Prozac Not Working
      Had terrible headaches, mood swings, intense anger, etc. Went off medicines for awhile after this one!
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      So far been more harmful then helpful. Then again I've put so many things in the back of my mind for years and never dealt with them until now.
      Wellbutrin Too Soon to Tell
