    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have been suffering with depression since I was in my mid twenties. I have been on many different medications in the past 7 years. Now I have a VNS implant and doing so much better.

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      I was put on this first. It worked for awhile. I found out that this drug was causing my migraines which were so severe that I was getting Botox injections for them.
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      I had to change therapists because the one I was seening wasn't helping me much. It is too soon with my new therapist.
      Vagus nerve stimulation Working / Worked
      The implant is working wonders for me. My doctor is thinking about taking me off medication soon.
    • Close ADHD / ADD

      My younger daughter has ADHD and so does my husband. My duaghter is 8 and was diagnosed at 6. I really didn't want to put her on medication, but it was that or have her keep struggling in school and at home.

      Treatments

      Strattera Working / Worked
      My daughter has been on this medication for 2 years and it works very well for her. She had all A's on her report card this nine weeks.
    • Open Obesity

      I have always had a weight problem. I have problems exercising due to my size.

      Treatments

      Gastric Bypass Surgery Considering
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I have had migraines since I was in my early teens. They became worse as I got older. I was taking an antidepressant that actually made me have migraines 3-4 a week if you can imagine that! I am off that medicine and now have them 1-2 a month. It is usually caused by my menstrual cycle. At one time I was on Topomax, Skelaxin, Vioxx, and receiving Botox injections.

      Treatments

      Aspirin Not Working
      Asprin does Not do anything for me.
      Botulin Toxin Working / Worked
      I had these injections when I was having the migraines 3-4 times a week.
      Imitrex Not Working
      This didn't work for my type of migraine
      Maxalt Not Working
      Didn't work for my type of migraine. It also caused some problems with my heart rate.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      It helped with the migraines but I can no longer take it and the antidepressant that I am on.
