- I have been taking Armour for a year & half. It worked real well to begin with. About a year ago, my depression started getting a lot worse. It got to it's worse a month ago when I ended up in the hospital. I went to an internist yesterday & she...
- I have been going to my MD for thyroid treatment. I like him, but don't think he knows what he's doing with my thyroid. My depression has gotten SO much worse since I had a thyroidectomy last May. I used to be able to handle stress & crises so much...
- I went to the doctor today because my PMR is flaring up again. I told him I think my thyroid is undertreated and therefore, my depression has escalated. It really started to go downhill after my thyroidectomy last May. It reached its pinnacle 3...
- That was what my friend said when I told her I am on Lithium. She said "that's heavy duty anti psycho medicine". Made me feel SOOO much better. I have gone up from 300mg to 900mg in less than a week. Aside from the negative stigma attached to...
- I ended up in a psych ward 2 weeks ago due to severe depression. I had to start taking Lithium because nothing else works. I hate the idea of taking lithium, but have no choice. I am now starting to believe that my PMR & Hashi's thyroiditis are not...
- I havent posted for awhile. My psychiatrist advised me to stay off the internet for a couple of weeks. I tend to gravitate toward the news, & FB. I have come to realize just how depressing Facebook can be. I now have NO desire to visit it anymore....
- I got out this morning. I am not really feeling better, but have a plan now. I am going to distance myself from my hurtful children. 2 weeks at least with NO contact. That was my psychiatrists idea. He also started me on Lithium. He said it is one...
- I know this is a sick way of thinking, but I have been feeling for the last 2 weeks that my only option is suicide. I am SO scared Im not going to get any better. I feel like Ive lost a huge chunk of my faith, & am convinced I screwed up the only...
- I braved an almost blizzard here in Nebraska and drove 75 miles to see my psychiatrist today. I was desperate to see him. I showed him my shaky hands & told him Im a nervous wreck. I told him what my son said yesterday & he said "DO NOT back down,...
- I texted my son & asked him if I could see my grandson Thursday instead of today. I knew the S__T would hit the fan, & it did. He went off on me & said the most hurtful, nasty things to me, not of the least was: "when you were 19, you opened up...
- The last few days, my hands have been trembling. They start trembling uncontrollably when I lay down to sleep. My fingers rub together really fast. Could the Lyrica be causing this? It's kind of scary.
- My psychiatrist has me on Lamictal 200mg a day. It worked ok for awhile & now, not so much. He took me off the Seroquel a couple of weeks ago, because the side effects were horrible. He didn't replace it with anything & my anxiety is through the...
- I had sharp, deep pains on the left side of my lower back. Every time I had a pain, in my dream it would be someone hitting me or kicking me. I realized that it was REAL pains. They are in the vicinity of my kidneys. I am afraid I ruined my kidneys...
- I dreamt 2 nights ago that I was walking around my house (but it wasn't the house I really live in) & all 4 of my sons were there, but a lot younger. I asked my ES "what year is it?" He said it was 1995. I got SO excited. I thought, great, I can...
- Mine was ok. I got phone calls from 2/4 of my sons. I didn't really expect to hear from ES, but my 2nd oldest, I kind of expected at least a phone call, but received just a non-personal text. The weather here was awful, cold, windy, snowing. My PMR...
