About Me
I'm just nuts...married with two beautiful and spirited daughters, the oldest is four and my baby is 2 and a half years old now. I work the night shift as a registered nurse in the newborn nursery, which I love, so I take care of babies all night only to come home and take care of my family. No one takes care of the nurses, therefore I feel nuts most of the time! Started on Celexa in January after many months of no meds. Was on zoloft for a while, but it didn't make sense to take a pill that made it hard to lose the 30 pounds I so easily gained on it only to be depressed about my weight. Celexa did not work so I started on a new antidepressant called Pristiq. It's been 6 weeks and I have started feeling normal again.I love my family with all my heart...they are my world! I just need to figure out how to better handle stress and to think more positive thoughts. My current goal is to weigh 105 pounds again.
Interests
I have a new goal. I am tired of people telling me my body will never be the same since having two kids. I think it can be even stronger than it was before. I am out to prove everyone wrong and become thin and fit again.

traci529 hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I want to be 105 pounds again. I am currently 118.6 pounds. I've tried weightwatchers but it was too much like a diet. I thought about food all the time and was always hungry. I'm now taking an herbal supplement so we'll see how that goes. I need to be skinny by May 7th because we are going to the beach!

traci529 hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Stress Management
I have two young daughters and a husband who is a stay at home dad. I am a registered nurse working three 12 hour night shifts a week. I will soon have to start working four night per week due to my husband starting school in August and putting the girls in daycare (very expensive). I have stress!
Open Depression
I've always been prone to depression, but it wasn't a problem until I had children. Before kids I could stay in bed all day and not answer the phone. After kids it wasn't about me anymore so I started zoloft. It made me a better mom. I decided to quit taking it June 8, 2007 because it made me numb to everything. Now I have anxiety.
Treatments
- Wellbutrin Too Soon to Tell
- Started wellbutrin XL 150 mg once a day on 7/17/07 after being off zoloft for over 5 weeks.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- I hated this! This increased my anxiety to new levels. My heart would pound at night and I could not sleep well.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- I hated this! This increased my anxiety to new levels. My heart would pound at night and I could not sleep well. It gave me high blood pressure
- Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
- It worked, but it made me emotionless. It got me through some rough post partum depression and anxiety, but quit taking it recently so I could feel again. Now I have horrible anxiety.
