I went through a three year manic episode caused by taking Paxil without a mood stabilizer. When I finally broke down and went to a psychologist, she told me I was bi-polar and should not be taking an SSRI by itself. I'm now struggling to find meds that are effective. I seem to take a set of drugs which work for a couple months and then stop working.
I've had fibromyalgia since I was 19. It's tough to deal with when paired with depression. I basically am in pain 100% of the time and I try to ignore it and pretend it's not there in an attempt to live a normal life. It's really hard when I feel depressed, because I hate to exercise and the one thing that does seem to help the fibromyalgia pain is daily exercise. So I end up feeling in pain, and feeling guilty because I haven't exercised. My only excuse is "I don't feel like exercising."
My family doctor prescribed Paxil to me in 2001 and it put me in a manic state for 3 years. I didn't know what was happening and figured the medicine must be working since I didn't feel depressed anymore. I then went to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with bipolar and told me I should never have taken and SSRI without a mood stabilizer.
I'm obsessed with being thin. But I suppose I don't want it enough because I keep eating foods that prevent me from losing weight. Overall, I do eat quite healthy, but my body resists weightloss.
