[citation needed] Lamotrigine has been studied as an adjunctive therapy for treatment of refractory unipolar depression, attaining efficacy on the secondary metric for treatment outcomes (Clinical Global Impressions), but not the primary metrics (Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression).
I looked at about 20 online sources trying to find the rating scale. Looks like you have to pay money or get trained to find the scales. I did find a few sample reports. One said that a 81 was "Markedly atypical (indicates significant problem)". This was for a sub set score. So if your overall score was an 83, I would assume that the same analysis as the 81 would be accurate.
And of course, this is just a test. Was it the short form or the long form?
We also assessed the presence of depression, by means of the Montgomery and Asberg Depression Rating Scale, and fatigue, by means of the Fatigue Severity Scale. An algometer was used to measure thermal and discomfort thresholds in all of the patients and a group of 61 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects.
Results
Pain was present in 61 patients.
Yes for sure anxiety can cause all of those problems. I seem to get the body aches a lot and I think that it's because of being so tense all the time. As far as the memory loss, I seem to get that from the depression that I deal with also. It does seem that depression comes along with anxiety and vise verse for me.

If you combine a lot of these natural therapies with the exersise, you never know. You may just find a way to manage it med free.
I tend to think that the question of "can depression be managed naturally?" depends a lot on just how severe the level of the depression and anxiety are. There is an actual rating system used to measure severity. Not sure how the scale works.
Funny story, it may bore you but I will tell you anyway.
ADHD is very rare and is one of the most over diagnosed of all "syndromes"
I would look at a more relaxed daycare before I ever put a child on drugs. Look up the side effects now and maybe read the feingold cookbook for hyperactive kids.
Thanks very much ladies!
Alex, I'm sure my neuro must be using a form of it without actually doing the full exam since he has to put it on the special auth form for my DMD but he has never told me where I fall on the scale.
Karen, thanks for sharing the article. That was definitely an interesting read. As part of the exam I had to do the timed 25 ft walk. Kind of depressing, isn't it?
Karry, I remember those assessments that you had at the rehab hospital.
I have had a problem with anxiety and depression pretty much all my life. I had been on some kind of medicine for about 5 years. I stopped my medication last year in March because my Medicaid was running out since I was about to turn 19 in May, my cut off date and I wanted to give myself a chance to feel all the withdrawals before it did. Ever since I have been pretty good at managing it. I hadn't felt depressed out of the blue, just when I was stressed in some way.
I started with the symptoms last week and I thought they would go away. My therapist said that my anxiety and depression would get better and I would have peaks and troughs, I guess this is a trough.
I don't think the doctors know what to do with me and they are just hoping I come round on my own but this is the hardest time. I think i'll ring my therapist cos I'm a bit stuck in it.
What are you doing about your job? Are you on sick pay? Do you think the tablets made you worse?

Does anyone know what the difference between the Crystalens HD500 diopter rating scale and that used for eyeglass prescriptions? I have the HD500s implanted beginning of March 2009 (L=24 R=25 according to the cards). The numbers just seem so extraordinarily high compared to the multifocal contacts (+2.5,+2.25) I wore before surgery.
Is there a "conversion scale" so I can get an idea of how much correction really was applied? I have [too?

Hello, I was diagnosed with a Pituitary tumor about 18 years ago. I started suffering with anxiety and depression at age18. I had the signs back then but wasn't diagnosed for 10 more years. I was given dostinex which I took till 5 years ago. I'm 46 now. At this time I was also on a anxiety med and had no anxiety that I can recall. I quit taking the dostinex as I said 5 years ago and have been suffering ever since.
To me, it sounds like you may have both anxiety and depression. They go hand in hand a lot of times. This is actually pretty common.
Have you thought about counseling? I think it's worth a try. You need someone to talk to about how your feeling.
People that don't have anxiety and depression have a very hard time understanding it. You might want to ask your boyfriend to do some research on these. It will help him better understand what's going on with you.

After couple months, instead of clonopin I was put on xanax and i had to take it everytime I felt anxious. I was never a big fan of meds and even though they helped somewhat with anxiety and panic I still felt anxious at times and not myself. I dont wanna go out anymore and I dont want to do things that I used to do. I stopped taking my meds in May, the withdrawals were pretty bad, but the anxiety was even worse.
Prior to the evaluation, see if you can complete a standardized rating scale that can help to pinpoint the presence of a condition such as Asperger's. A well regarded scale of this sort is the GILLIAM ASPERGER'S DISORDER SCALE. The psychologist can score it and interpret it and then discuss it with you.
