    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've been through years of therapy, an RTC, a wilderness program, countless meds, & at least 3 psychiatrists, but none of that matters. I believe we are all inherently good and everything happens for a reason, thus sorting out this mess of mine will be so beneficial in the end :)

      Treatments

      Celexa Not Working
      it didn't do much for me & i made the mistake of going off of it cold-turkey, which made me vomit every 5 minutes.
      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      I felt that DBT was a better fit for me, but CBT is the most common mode of treatment, it seems.
      Cymbalta Not Working
      Bad side effects makes it really impossible to take.
      Effexor Not Working
      not liking the memory loss, reactiveness, & accentuation of anxiety. i'm now just starting to taper off of it.
      Electroconvulsive therapy Considering
      i've been talking to a few people who've had it & am, at this juncture, very active in considering it.
      Meditation Working / Worked

      Paxil Not Working

      Prozac Not Working
      i went through 2 cycles of going all the way up to the maximum dosage only to see it fail. don't make the same mistake! voice your opinion loud and clearly to your doctor.

      it's been a long road.
