Treatments

Abilify Working / Worked

Life saver!

Cymbalta Not Working

It didn't work. Cried all the time.

Effexor Not Working

Didn't work. Cried all the time.

Lexapro Working / Worked

Worked like a champ until it "pooped out".

Meditation Considering

Paxil Somewhat Helpful

Was on it for a year. Wasn't that helpful but my doctor was skimpy with the dosage. Horrible weight gain.

Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful

It's really hard work.

Prozac Working / Worked

Worked like a champ until it "pooped out".

Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful

3x a week for 4.5 years and I don't know how much it helped me. Still trying to figure it out.

Seroquel Working / Worked

Love/hate relationship with Seroquel. It's works amazingly well but makes me eat like there's no tomorrow. I really want to start taking it again but can't handle the weight gain.

Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful

Trazodone Somewhat Helpful

Only works if I'm already sleepy.

Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful

For me, useful as a supplement to existing med cocktail. Its side effects helped alleviate side effects from other meds.

Writing Somewhat Helpful

Zoloft Working / Worked

Not as helpful for me as Prozac or Lexapro, but still did its job.
