Lexapro Working / Worked

I was on this medication. I LOVED it..I thought I should taper off, and then I decided I needed it..and my doctor put me on Wellbutrin.

Wellbutrin Working / Worked

In the beginning, I experienced horriable naseau and headaches, like you would NOT believe. NOW, I am much better and the medication is working, BUT, I feel like I would like to take a higher dose.

Open Bereavement

I lost my father, very suddenly back in 1998, he was just way too young to die, 59 years old, so full of life, a loving, caring, awesome father, and, a phenomenal husband to my mother. He will never know my son, he is four, my niece, my brothers wife, and children. It is heartbreaking to this day, and, he passed 8 years ago. I miss him and love him. I wish he was here.

Treatments

Crying Working / Worked

When my father passed on in 1998, I cried every single day. Every day at his wake we were all hysterical..he passed very young, we had so many plans in our minds.

Open ADHD / ADD

Our son is 4 years old and we believe that he has ADHD, he receives speech, OT, and he has a teacher that comes into his pre-school class and helps him with coping skilss. We are not sure if he has ADHD for sure, but, we are suspecting that..his eye contact is not the greatest, he is hyper, does not sit for long periods of time, his sleep patterns are pretty bad, and, he is extremely sensitive, too...

Hi everyone..I am married for 7 years, we have a son, he is 4 1/2 years old. Like every family, we have our issues, but, this year was especially tough...we are getting through it day by day.

Open Post Partum Depression

i had a wonderful pregnancy back in 2001-2002. I gave birth to my beautiful son, Anthony, in May of 2002. Almost immediately, I felt sad...depressed, I cried often. Then when we got home after being in the hospital for a week, after an emergency c-section, I started to feel very speed up...like i was racing against the clock. I wanted to take care of my son, but, i just didnt want to face that I was a mother! It was a horriable, scary and very lonely feeling.

Treatments

Lexapro Working / Worked

i began taking lexapro and it helped, but, I gained a ton of weight...i now am on another medication.

Effexor Working / Worked

I got off the lexapro, it not only made me gain weight, BUT, I had no desire to have a sex life!! Which was horriable.

Open Shopping Addiction

i have a real problem with saving money, with spending a little out of control, and, honestly, i need support and some advice as to how i can control what is going on.

Open War & Terrorism

My husband and I lost our very very dear friend on September 11th in the WTC. He and my friend were getting married one month after the attack occured..it was and still is very sad, and, devastating. My brother worked in the WTC, was running late, and, he never made it up into the building...his boss and 70 co-workers/friends perished. My husband and I miss our friend dearly. Such a cruel, evil, senseless hate. May all of the Sept. 11th, War Victims and Victims of Vir. Tech rest in peace.
