      Definitely not your typical gay guy. I like to work on cars. Love Do-it-Yourself projects, like to shoot guns, fish, go camping boating, hiking. I can do anything I put my mind to. (if i can just keep my mind quiet and still)

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Diagnosed in 1996. It has been a long,confusing, and sometimes treacherous journey. Will it ever stop?!!

      Treatments

      Depakote Working / Worked
      Seemed to work for me but the lethargy and weight gain were too much so I quit and continue to take Lexapro.
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Have Been on Lexapro for about 5 years. Changed from a combo of Paxil,trazodone and Klonopin.
      Trazodone Somewhat Helpful
      Prescribed for sleep due to my moving to the city where noise bothered me. This stuff works. But literally made me comatose for 8 hrs.
      Paxil Working / Worked
      Worked for a while when I was younger combined with good ole Depakote. Dosage had to be adjusted back to 15mg as 20 mg made me feel lke I had a urinary infection.
      Clonazepam Working / Worked
      works okay. Weened myself off of it. Took it on average of three times daily. Built up a tolerance and felt it might as well be placebo
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      I felt terrible. I wanted to both vomit and fall over.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Just started
    • Close Anxiety

      Generalized Anxiety disorder

      Treatments

      Treatments
