I usually eat a lot, but for the past 4-5 days, I haven't been eating. I lost 10 lbs. in 2 days, simply by laying down, being depressed & not eating. I usually eat more when depressed, but now, I find myself not eating at all.

I have been tested positive as an adult with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), and other test proved positive as a child I was ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder).
I checked into it many years ago when my twin boys were diagnosed as ADD.
As a child I do not recall not being able to concentrate or complete any thing I started, but now I definately do have a problem staying focused , and completeing anything I start, also in order to grasp something new, ( Example: A job, or a school lesson ), I can't grasp it by just reading about it, I have to manually do whatever it is physically myself or at least watch it being done. Once I had to read my 1st chapter in an accounting course 5 times, before I could grasp any of it...
Even though I know basics of bookkeeping, etc.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to work with this disorder, so I can get back into college with out fearing it, and feeling stupid???
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thank You...

I am having issues (who isn't?) with my anti-depressants. I want to come off of everything, cause I don't know what is causing what symptom, you know? I have anger bursts, especially with my four year old son, and it makes me feel so sad and guilty later.. I say mean things to him. Basically, I can't handle him when he's not "good". I feel like the most horrible mom. I don't really have any zest for life, you know? I don't want to clean the house, I never really spend quality time with my son. Before I started all the pills (beginning with Paxil), I was pretty "normal". I got on Paxil because my new family doc. put me on them when I told her I suffered from anxiety.. she should have just sent me to counseling or something, cause I wasn't really that anxious. Anyway, after becoming a zombie, I went through hell and got off the Paxil. From there, I started others. Right now I take Wellbutrin, Lexapro, and Lamictal... I thought I was feeling better after the addition of the Lamictal

Another Year has passed since day of my birth. It has been 29 years since that day and I have many memories of good, bad, and weird times. Yet I don't feel any diffrent then I did 4 years ago. I don't even look any diffrent then I did 7 years ago, does this mean this is as good as it gets? Plus to top it all off I'm one year from being 30 years old, Nooo! That means I'm getting closer to the top of the hill then I start rolling down. Wheeee!!!

I want to be free of my depression without the use of medications as they have a lot of undesirable side effects, including weight gain. I definately don't want that.

Why is it that I can lose weight fine, but when someone tells me "looks like you're losing weight" or "You are looking good lately" or something to that effect I will stop losing and start gaining.

For about 4 months,I've been taking 20mg Stilnoct nightly(and 150mg Efexor XL daily...since last Sept).I have ptsd and major depression.I find the Stilnoct only works when I take 1 beer also.Are there any long term health risks?(am struggling with suicidal ideation at times,which is why I only have 1 beer).Also,if someone used to 10mg Stilnoct can survive overdose of 400mg(40 times daily limit),would that automatically double for someone taking 20mg daily?

He has no family to speak of. Executors ( and heirs) are waltzing around the problem. I fear he will kill someone...intentionally or not . He's physically abused the cat and verbally abused the person caring for him. Any advice? He desperately needs an evaluation, medicatiotn and cataract surgery. He won't go...all he says is "you think I'm crazy."

I started with Zoloft, worked great, yet didn't enjoy the "sexual" side effects (which can make anyone more depressed, LOL!). Then I went on Effexor, another SSRI, same dreaded side effect, then my doc put me on Lexapro, however, it make me sweat like I was in Las Vegas in August (and it was winter here!). Now, I'm on Wellbutrin which doesn't have the sexual side effect issue, but it isn't an SSRI which is what I really think I need to compliment the Wellbutrin to have the best result. My doctor even tells me this, but I resist, because let's face it, I'd like to be able to enjoy sex! LOL!

Argh.....wonder if it is possible to invent an SSRI without the dreaded side effect.

Or is it just becoming "popular" so to speak now because of all the new meds out there?

And I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I have been on my share of depression drugs, which have worked tremendously well by the way. (that along with talk therapy) I resisted the drugs at first, but when I couldn't get out of bed in the morning to go to work or would just cry at a drop of a dime, my doctor finally convinced me to give Zoloft a try due to a "chemical imbalance". Damn, I'm glad I finally listened to him, it saved my life, literally!

What are your thoughts?
