      I have been put on medical leave due to severe depression and anxiety. I am hoping a little break and some counseling will get me back to a better place.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Keeps the anxiety to a minimum and helps the other drugs work better. No side effects
      Paxil Working / Worked
      This was the best drug I had, unfortunately it was thought to be the cause of a major allergic reaction and I had to give it up.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Works well, makes me sleepy, so I have been taking at night.Trying to get that adjusted to AM, as Dr. thinks it does effect sleep once it kicks in.

      Just started a journal here on DS.
