      Treatments

      Ativan Somewhat Helpful
      It helps, but I need a large dose and I have a 2 year old so it`s not an option right now.
      Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
      But it`s quite hard to get yourself relaxed enough to do the breathing exercises.
      Luvox Not Working
      did not help much that I can remember
      Meditation Too Soon to Tell
      I can`t seem to get it down to a regular schedule everyday to see benefits.
      Paxil Not Working
      did not help much
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      It`s not easy but if you can lay off the negative talk even a little, you just might see an improvement. I think it`s helped me a tad.
      Trazodone Somewhat Helpful
      but had me so tired all the time.
      Valium Somewhat Helpful
      As mentioned before I have a high tolerance so I need alot but I have a 2 year old so I can`t be taking these meds right now.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Hopefully make some friends.

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      For the first little while it seemed to help a little but I was on such a high dose, kinda rediculous
      Electroconvulsive therapy Considering
      Meditation Too Soon to Tell
      Trying to get this into my daily schedule
      Paxil Not Working
      I did not really help me
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      It has helped me a tad to not give myself such a hard time as I used to be brutal to myself. Just shutting up the negative voice, not allowing it to continue has helped me a bit.
      Prozac Too Soon to Tell
      I`m on this now taking 40mgs and will be going up to 60mg soon. I REALLY hope ths works/helps.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I do not have the money I need for the counseling I should get, but I have been to a few sessions.
      Seroquel Not Working
      All it seemed to do was make me sleepy and exhausted. I think it can help and did help a tad with my anxiety though.
      Trazodone Not Working
      Just made me tired
      Writing Too Soon to Tell
      I try to write in a journal as much as I can which hasn`t been much lately.
      Zoloft Not Working
      Did not help.

      hopefully make a couple friends.

      Treatments

      Alli Not Working
      I was disgusted by it and stopped.
      Counting Calories Somewhat Helpful
      I think it worked okay for a while when I was writing stuff down, but it`s so easy to quit because we are all so busy
      Dancing Working / Worked
      I do cardio-dance sessions that end up being a great workout, of course I haven`t done that in years.
      Eating Healthier Foods Too Soon to Tell
      I`ve bben a junk food junkie all my life. For the first time at the age of 34 I have to switch to a healthy lifestyle or my body is going to shut down on me.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      If I could quit having vicious cravings for sweets, I`d eat healthier, have more energy for working out. But when I did it helped of course.
      Xenical Not Working
      It was gross, I stopped taking it

      But what do you do when he`s doing something you told him not to do for the tenth time? Pretty hard to use positive reinforcement here.
