He was very good and after a couple of meetings he prescribed me with medication for what he called a chemical imbalance in my brain that caused depression. The meds worked and I definitely wasn't as sad most of the time. So for seven years I've taken meds. More recently I've started to feel, emotionless and even angry (on the inside). Im not suicidal like I was in middle school, but I definitely don't feel good.

My doctor won't diagnose me with graves disease but when reading message boards, people say anything over 2% is graves. If I have this, how can I cure it naturally? I can't take medication. TSI (Normal) 113 TSH 0.02 (Low) Range is (0.035 - 4.67) T3 Free 5.84 (high) Range is (1.45 - 3.48 ) T4 Free 2.00 (high) Range is (0.70 - 1.

Tuesday my psychiatrist stopped my Zoloft and started me on Fluvox (I have GAD, OCD, and mild/moderate depression). Well I've had some side effects that I can live with, but the past 24 hours I've been getting much angrier than usual. Like when my husband and I bicker a little, I get mad instead of a little annoyed. This happened once before when my former psychiatrist tried swithching me from zoloft to cymbalta, and I switched back after 4 days because of it.

I can use medication for my asthma and feel great but I still have asthma. I think from reading on the message boards that there may be some cases (as in post-partum cardiomyopathy) the heart may return to normal and that's it. So perhaps it depends on the cause of the CM and what type it is.

Have you been to see a Counselor that you can talk to? Are you taking any medication for your depression? I have extreme phobia/fear due to other family members and I can't handle the thought of being zombie out like they stay along with addictions and that terrifies me because I know the same could happen to me if I started taking any type of medication for a period of time.

Hi, I was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism about 2 weeks ago. About 1 year ago, I had a physical done and my blood work was perfect. I have been taking the generic for Zoloft, Sertraline, for about 8 months now. I did another physical 3 wks ago, and it showed my TSH levels off and my Cholesterol as 276 with high LDL cholesterol also. My HDL level was high, which is great. I exercise and eat very healthy.

t see Lyme as a truly serious illness may try to cause trouble for MDs who *do* take Lyme very seriously, and the result could be problems for the Lyme docs with the state medical boards. (The medical boards tend to hold to the old belief that Lyme is no big deal.) Over time, the medical profession will work itself out, but for now, please do NOT post names of any MDs here, in order to protect them.

I am currently looking for a new depression medication. I need some info on something that is NOT a SSRI, a hormone, and is not zoloft, celexa, or prozac......also something that does not contain salicylic acid aka aspirin. If anyone can help I would appreciate the help.

If you are taking medication for depression does that make your system take longer to ejaculate and also make it harder to gain an erection?

I'm not sure if this is in the right place, but i need help so i'm going to ask it. i am 18 years old & have been taking vyvanse for about a month now. i slowly increased my dosage and i am up to 30mg currently. i'm starting to realize i am becoming depressed and i'm always in a bad mood, especially for the passed 3 days. friday, i smoked a very large amount of marijuana and took an ecstasy pill.

I read your post and remembered back to when I was diagnosed over 20 years ago. I was as confused as you seem. I was paralyzed on my entire left side and went through 5 neurologists and several misdiagnoses before they did a spinal tap and confirmed it was MS. Conventional treatment was very little other than steroids back then which gave me terrible side effects.

Hi. You may want to talk to your doctor about getting a longer acting anxiety medication. Xanax is short acting and is usually prescribed on an "as needed" basis, there are others that last longer and can control your anxiety 24/7. Your prescribing doctor needs to know how you are feeling so he can adjust your medication accordingly, you don't need to feel this way. You may want to think about therapy as well to learn if there is a root cause for your anxiety.

I'm 18 and am wondering where I can find help or someone to talk to other than my mother about my depression. I'm not doing well in school( I'm lazy and sleep during most of it) and I don't have any friends.I have been this way since I was 12 and I have a bad feeling that this is just going to get worst later on in my life. Does anyone have any advice?

Check out the message boards on these 2 websites for CPAP related questions. The boards here are very active. I think I've read this problem on those boards before. www.cpaptalk.com www.apneasupport.

P.S. Please don't post any personal information on the boards!! (email,first&last names,etc). The boards are viewed by everyone!!! You can always private message someone...just hover over that person's name and you'll see the choice for messaging. Hope that helps!! Here if you need anything!!

Im on medication for depression and anxiety. Also occasionally I have a sedative in case I go bizzercerz. Would that hurt my child more than stress would?

It depends on which medication, there are some that are safe. Ive been having issues with it, because ive already taken all the ones that are safe at one point and there are very few that are safe.

Writing to you from experience. Please don't isolate yourself. If you hold all your feelings/thoughts inside the depression will only worsen. Are you under a Dr.'s care for this and are you on medication for depression? If not, please go to your doctor. Take your husband with you. Mental illness, for whatever reason, is a very serious illness. Already you are talking about life/death! Who would that hurt? YOUR FAMILY!

I've dealt with depression for most of my life and have been medicated for the past year. I have been off medication for the duration of my pregnancy but due to some family issues and stress, I've been really struggling. Is there anything anybody here has done to help lift their spirits? I really don't want to go back on medications during my pregnancy, and I seriously will try anything to feel better.

t give up on the idea of medication because you had a bad experience with one specific medication. If you feel a breakdown coming on then it would be the time to start back on medication again. But find out what your other options are. Google "Depression Central" and there are some other good websites on the links page that can tell you what your options are. Discuss that with a psychiatrist. Clinical depression is biochemical. Talk therapy although good won't work by itself.

ve been very depressed (literally lying on the floor, staring at the ceiling) and somewhat nauseated that entire time. However, I am also 6 weeks pregnant, and I have chronic mild depression anyway. I was using 10-20 mg per day (more than it sounds like, for someone my size) , for about a year. So, how long can I expect the withdrawal symptoms to last, and how much of what I'm experiencing do you think is from withdrawal? (as opposed to pregnancy or depression).
