      I have struggled with shyness ever since I was little.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      I've only had a few sessions of Counseling so far so its a bit to early to tell if it will help
      Socializing Not Working
      My bf and I have been dating 5 months and I still get nervous around him. Its horrible and I dont want him to think that is him thats effecting me.
    • Close Depression

      I have been struggleing with depression for a long time and no one in my family understands so I am here trying to find support.

      Treatments

      Effexor Too Soon to Tell
      I just started Effexor yesterday, and as wierd as it may sound I already have some side effect from it. I kind of feel horrible and a bit jittery today but I guess its supposed to get worse before it gets better.
      Paxil Working / Worked
      I liked Paxil for the benefits at least but the cons really out weighed the pros for me. I gained weight and if I forgot to take it I will so sick that I couldnt take it anymore so I had to switch.
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      I have only had a few sessions.
    • Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 18 I am now 22. No one in my family has this and its nice to know there are others who go through what I do.

      Treatments

      Aldactone Not Working
      I took this for awhile and never really seen any change.
      Metformin Somewhat Helpful
      It worked somewhat but the side effects were to much to bare.
      Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
      I was on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen, I really liked it it got my periods regulated.
