First of all, I'm a female in my 30's whose suffered from fairly severe depression since around age 9. I also have OCD, severe anxiety (especially in social situations), BDD (which is "Body Dysmorphic Disorder" and is closely related to OCD except you have a preoccupation with your appearance or a certain aspect of your appearance ), and they think that I have Bi-Polar Disorder. I know, it's quite a list! It's been so rough that I actually cannot work. I start crying at the stupidest lilttle things and tremble from nervousness. Xanax has helped with my anxiety. I have tried numerous anti-depressants including Lithium (much too strong), Paxil, Lexapro, Remeron (made me hallucinate), and a bunch of others. I have been on Prozac but it's been a while. I started it 5 days ago. OKAY, SORRY ABOUT ALL THE RAMBLING! I just thought if maybe you were a psychiatrist or in the field you'd want to know a bit about my background. MY QUESTIONS ARE (sorry have to continue-no more space!)
