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.
we should add these to our treatments, remeron is good for depression and sleep, also the ativan is good for anxiety, and cheap, it helps w/ depression, in a way, cuz you do not get so anxious and causes depression from frustration. cj

Thanks for sharing this with us. Are these things you have to get from the doctor or are they a herbal product that you can buy?

they are from the dr. regular prescriptions, remeron is generic(mertapine), and the ativan i get is generic(lorazepam), they are cheap, w/ins, the rem. is 7, and the ativan is 2.71, for generic, 30, tabs, i get the remeron, as a sol tab, melt it under the tongue ( i mix it in my drink 2 oz.) it works fast and causes sleep to come w/in a half hr.i was on cymbalta and the dr, said it causes anxiety!!!!!!!!!! did not know that for over a year. and he said welbutrin does too! i was so mad when i heard that. i have a problem w/ a lot of meds, side effects, like i got a catarac, maybe caused from asthma meds? i done know. it makes me sick, these dr.s done tell ya all they should. cj

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
