    • About Me

      I am a professional artist who has suffered with major depression, OCD, and panic attacks since early childhood. I have also self medicated in the past (many with alcohol), but am proud to say that I have been clean for just over a year! With the right help, I have cut back on my symptoms greatly, but am currently having some problems coming back now that I am decreasing my medicines.

      From ronna September 11

      i too suffer alot of anxiety. i take colopin for that. i think i'm anxious everyday. when i get up, i make my coffee and go on the computer to read my mail and take muy meds. when i have stress in my life, i am worse, i take 2 colopins.mine are 2mg. are u trying to get off of colopin? i habe been on medicine since i was 17 years old, and i think out of all the nerve medicine i have taken, colopin is the best for me. ( and i have tried alot )also i take paxil 40mg. and depakote as i have a chemical inbalance. which my doctor said most ppl who suffer from p.a.'s or severe anxiety have. i wish there was a magic pill that we could take and feel fine all the time. i forget what calm really is. take care, ronna

    • Close Panic Attacks

      I have suffered from panic attacks since childhood along with OCD. I noticed that the two feed off of each other. After getting help, I have had a great reduction in symptoms, but some of my symptoms have been returning as I have been easing myself off of Klonopin.

      Treatments

      BuSpar Working / Worked
      I have noticed a great difference in my mood when I forget to take my medicine, so it appears to have a positive effect on my mood
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      Worked greatly, is rather easy to come off of, but it is necessary for me to come off of it now that I plan on getting pregnant.
      Kava Not Working
      Had a bad reaction with it once while taking Zoloft
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have suffered with depression, OCD, and panic disorder ever since childhood. I have gotten much treatment for the OCD and panic, but oddly my councelor doesn't seem to know how to treat depression.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      No side effects luckily, but I am on so many different medicines I don't know if it is the Lexapro working or perhaps the BuSpar...
      BuSpar Working / Worked
      I noticed a great decrease in my mood when I missed a dose so it appears to be doing something.
    • Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      I have suffered since childhood with depression, OCD, and panic disorder. I have learned a lot of coping skills, but still deal with a wandering mind...

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Currently taking and is good if used alongside BuSpar
      Remeron Not Working
      I gained 30 pounds and had a nightmare of a time coming off from this drug.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Did wonders for me as a kid. Unfortunately, I took it for 10 years straight and it no longer has an effect on me.
      BuSpar Working / Worked
      Helps greatly alongside Lexapro
    • Open Loneliness

      Although I am lucky to have a very caring husband and family, I can only think of one or two real friends that I have. Often I have a feeling that people try to avoid me or that there is something wrong with me.
