Health - 18 September 2006

So I have been on numerous depression and anxiety medications over the past 6 years until now it was one ex: just welbutrin, or just effexor, just prozac etc... I just recently started going to a new doctor (about 3 months now) who now has me taking daily doses: 60mg of adderall, 150mg of effexor, and 150mg of welbutrin possibly going up to 300mg on welbutrin...
this just seems to me like alot of medicine on a daily basis... and i don't know anyone who takes these kinds of medicines at least not all together everyday...
so far the adderall and effexor have been working better than anything ive been on in the past, but not to what my doc. expected, so he upped the effexor and that didn't work (just made me very agitated) so now he added welbutrin and took the effexor back down to 150... anyone else out there on this many meds, or know what level of happiness I am supposed to be accomplishing with all of this? I've never really been what they call "happy" ever.

I had this test, but do not understand the copy I was given of this test. Apparently I have nerve damage, after the Lumbar Fusion Surgery I had to undergo.

Mom's doc says the dependence thing isn't true, but friends of her with presumably the same problem, hear different things from their doctors.

Mom's on the oxygen 24/7 and is hoping to not have to be forever.

Help.

My doctor prescribed Lexapro for me and I didn't even finish the starter pack.... I went on 10 mg for 1 week and a day
(8 days). I couldn't eat or really do anything, and in the mornings I would whake up and be paniced. They did help me stay calm some but other times it was just worse. I could never eat and I lost a lot of weight(I'm small to begin with) and I'm still depressed to this day. My main cause for depression is this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsK6Qlk1FeJ7hPtHt1LRUT7sy6IX?qid=20060913074323AAi8GKX. Just go to the link and please read.... I ended up clearing everything up to my girlfriend yesterday and she cried some. Then she wrote me and email and said she doesn't hold it against me and she trusts me. I cried so much when telling her and now today is the day after and I'm still upset. I worry so much about this relationship. Does it get better as I get older? I'm 17. I hope I did the right thing by telling her. It didn't bother her as much as i thought.

I am walking around all day on a near orgasm. I'm not stimulated or anything like that but I do have that tingly feeling like right before an orgasm. Could my prostate be acting up? I'm only 34.

I'm really good about eating healthy throughout the week, but it seems on weekends it just kind of goes downhill. My husband always wants to go out to eat Fridays and Saturdays, and we usually have a potluck with friends on Sundays, and I blow my diet. What are some tricks to sticking to your healthy eating on the weekends? Thanks!

That's how I feel about my life. Is there anyone else out there like me? It would make me feel a little better......

I'm tired of going to school and working full time. I'm a manager at a retail store and I get shitted on left and right by my psychotic supervisor. I'm tired of losing and gaining weight. I'm tired of trying to get my boyfriend to notice me (he's nice, but doesn't give me that little extra). I'm tired of not liking myself.

I mean, life is good overall and it is what you make it, but right now, I'm frustrated.

I want to change, but I'm afraid. I don't want to leave my boyfriend because I don't want to hurt him, and I still want to be with him. I havent quit my job because of the money (i dont need it but its nice to have) and i'd be letting down my parents and my boyfriend if i did because its a big accomplishment to be 18 and a manager.

SCREW THIS I'M YOUNG I HAVE TO LIVE MY LIFE!!!!! DO WHAT I WANT STOP PUTTING OTHERS BEFORE ME ALL THE TIME

I've had a cough for about two weeks, already drank cough syrup but this won't go away. I basically want to know natural remedies that have taken your cough away.
Thanks!

I am 50 years old and fell on my hands, they are bruised between the thumb and first finger. I want them to get better as soon as possible. When I cut or open jars etc it does hurt. Should I avoid heavy work until they heal. Or will they heal regardless of what I do.

I had some blood tests about 5 years ago for depression. The tests were negative.
Could it be possible for me to be depressed now? Is it possible to have depression and it NOT show up on blood tests?
