        Celexa Somewhat Helpful
        I'm on 40mg daily now and without them I'm very depressed and deeply saddened and always greiving.
        In Vitro Fertilization Considering
        I have medical insurance to cover drugs and I have OHIP coverage for the proceedure. Just need more time to consider and to be at my healthiest both physically and emotionally.

      • Close Depression
        Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

        I've been living with depression for 10 years. Some days are harder than others and the good days are hell. I'm unable to conceive children and I'm a 27 year old woman. I struggle just to live with myself and live in this world of happiness just beyond my reach and lonliness already at my door.

        Treatments

        Celexa Somewhat Helpful
        I'm still taking Celexa, my dose has changed over the years from 10mg to 20 to 30 and now 40mg. Sometimes I have a decrease in sex drive but all of the time I can still feel depressed and so it's not 100% effective.
        Paxil Not Working
        Stopped as it was ineffective after some time.
        Trazodone Not Working
        Doctor discontinued this medication for me as I was starting to hear voices. At first I thought I was just having bad thoughts but then I decided for sure that they were voices. Talking with my doctor confirmed they were voices (hallucinations) and I was taken off this drug. The voices were telling me bad things - like to kill myself and how and why, etc... very bad voices.
        Writing Somewhat Helpful
        It always helps to write a letter to God or to someone I love, even if the letter never gets delivered. I write poetry and that helps to - although it sometimes is very dark and depressive
      • Open Fibromyalgia

        Treatments

        Acupuncture Working / Worked
        Works very well when I sleep during the treatments. During this sleep I receive the best healing.

        Heat and Ice therapy sometimes helps.
        Oxycodone Working / Worked
      • Open Anxiety

        I've had anxiety for quite sometime. I don't even remember when it started but certain life events have made it worse. My infertility, my family, car accident, depression, etc.

        Treatments

        Ativan Working / Worked
        I take 1mg tablets, 2-3 at a time when I'm having panic attacks or I feel very anxious. Only problem is you can't really do anything after you take them because they cause drowsiness.
        Breathwork Working / Worked
        Box breathing where you trace out a box with your finger and focus ONLY on the box and your breathing, each side is one breath either in our out. ONe box is two breaths in and two breaths out.
      • Open Adoption

        My partner and I have been trying to have a baby for 7 years. I got pregnant twice and both were ectopic pregnancies and I lost bost babies and I also lost my fallopian tubes so I am unable to conceive. We want desperately to be parents and are considering adoption for many reasons.
