    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I have days where I just feel like everything is a lost cause and reading some of the comments on this site made me realize I'm not alone. I think this site will help me to deal with life a little more easily.

      Treatments

      Depakote Working / Worked
      This definitely helps in controlling my bp.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      It helped to a certain degree but then my doctor didn't refill my prescription and I don't know why. I am changing doctors though and will try to get back on it.
      Zyprexa Somewhat Helpful
      Helps me sleep but I don't like the side effects the next morning. I find I have NO energy all day and I feel drowsy all day.
      Clonazepam Working / Worked
      I find it is one of my best working pills as it keeps me calm but not to the point of drowsy. I take one pill in the morning to keep me calm during the day and then two at night to help me sleep.
    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I am having problems dealing with my fibromyalgia and I am hoping that there will be people who can help me to cope with the things I am dealing with.

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      Worked for many years but then stopped working.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      It was the only thing that worked in controlling the pain but I had to use a lot more of it then the doctor recommended he put me on 1 pill 3 times a day but I had to take 3 pills at once in order for the pain to just be tolerated. He has now taken me off them as he says I am abusing them but now I get to the point where I cant even get out of bed some days. I will be seeing a new doctor soon though and hopefully he can give me something that will work.
    • Open Obesity

      I need help in trying to lose weight. I need to lose 135 lbs and I'm having a really hard time with it. I thought having people support me might help.

      Treatments

      Slim-Fast Working / Worked
      Worked til I found out I'm lactose intolerant and can't mix milk with it.
    • Open Hypothyroidism

      I have just recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. My previous doctor had me diagnosed as hyperthyroidism so I was on the wrong meds and it was reeking havoc with my health. My new doctor saw what was happening and put me on a new med but also put me on a moderate level of the med. I'm starting to feel better now but I still need support from people who have gone through this.

      Treatments

      Synthroid Working / Worked
      I've just started taking this med very recently but so far it seems to be working and I haven't noticed any side effects.
      Elavil Somewhat Helpful
      Started to help when I was first diagnosed although I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism I dont know why my old doctor put me on this but soon I started having MAJOR side effects when it stopped working EXTREME moodiness depression no energy just wanting to sleep EXTREME hunger.
