The only thing I can say is that treating with bipolar may be difficult because interferon causes severe depression even in healthy individuals without psychiatric issues. If your doctor thinks you can try treatment, you should be followed up very closely, because your bipolar can worsen.
How bad is your bipolar? Is it well-controlled? What medicines do you take for it?
he started with the worst situation for interferon, such high hbvdna and hbsag have no hope on interferon mono anyway addition of alinia reversed anything
i think that as shown on hcv trials alinia is able to restore interferon response and improve it, this is something we do need on hbv treatments because hbv can stop both our body natural interferon and the injected interferon and make it totally useless
I became severely depressed after an (unwarranted) hysterectomy. I had no history of depression and, clearly, the severe and immediate loss of hormones was the trigger. Plus I had a long list of other debilitating symptoms of hormone deficiency. So HRT made the most sense to me and has been a huge help although has not completely resolved all the problems that ensued.
Have you had your thyroid checked? Thyroid problems are common and seem to be more prevalent around the time of menopause.
However, if you have been suffering from anxiety and stress related to life events, it may be that you need treatment of your anxiety and depression (i.e. medications to treat these rather than the insomnia they may be causing). Medications such as valium may be helpful but also lead to dependence, addiction, tolerance, and worsening insomnia ("rebound insomnia).
It sounds as if your school nurse may be correct. There are some people in the mental health community that think it's impossible for a very young teen agers to suffer from Clinical Depression. I think that's a bunch of **** because I was also very young when I was diagnosed with Severe Depression and I still fight with it to this day.
Are you also suffering from a lot of Anxiety along with this depression? Panic Attacks, racing thoughts, trembling, Ect....

i'm posting a question asking for your medical advice as i've suffered from long term depression since i was 18 as i'm now 38 going through various medication regimes throughout that time. I've previously been on mostly SSRI's ie prozac and seroxat, with in addition dosuphin and amtitrypline. Prozac and seroxat worked well with me for some time until they "pooped out" on me.
Im 25ish weeks with my second little girl and I am so excited to be getting another little princess. Lately though I have really been struggling with severe depression (at least thats what Im assuming it must be). Im getting ready to head back to the doctors this coming week and Im going to talk with her about it. My problem is that I dont want to be put on medication and I dont want/ cant really afford therapy to handle it either.
next with the treatment, the side effects can be really bad, especially the interferon, since it can make depression worse and I already have a history with severe major depression. I have stage 2 out of 4 fibrosis. I was also given this paper with METAVIR hepatitis activity index. I have no idea of what to think, what to do, etc. I'm all alone trying to digest all of this and I'm having a really hard time. Any information that anyone can give will be greatly appreciated.
Today I saw my doctor who was quite refreshed from rest at home. He recommended two treatment options, one is injection once a week and the other is baraclude by mouth once daily. Because the former has side effects that may cause me (the bread earner of my family) to stop working, I immediately chose the latter, which costs $2200 per 90 days. Would appreciate your sharing your experience if you have used baraclude before. Thank you.
You need to help her see a psychiatrist if her depression is severe. He/she will do an assessment and set up a treatment plan for her. She will also benefit from psychotherapy, too. But, start with a qualified psychiatrist. She is lucky that she has you to help her....good luck to both of you.
