Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I have quit drinking and smoking pot, i'm on day 14 of being clean and sober! The depression and lack of interest in things I used to enjoy is lifting. I am actually getting back in my element. I started taking Sam- e and it has helped me more than my prescription mood stabilizers. I am also in the process of coming off of klonopin, i'm down from 3mg to 1mg daily. I feel that things are coming together for me finally. I still have my moments of depression, usually in the evening, but it is manageable. I think I am back on track to a normal life. Next I will be coming off of Seroquel, I take 100mg for sleep at night, but something is driving my blood pressure up. My dr. thinls it's the Seroquel. Anyway I have enough on my plate right now, so that will happen in the near future. I'm taking my life back finally! I hope things keep going in the positive direction they are. Sly
I'm glad that you posted your solutions - it rarely happens here.
Also, Sam-e is a supplement that some of the celebrity doctors recommend, and it's supposed to be safe.
I hope things continue in a positive direction for you, too.
