I know that different meds work for different people but lately I've started to lose hope on what works for me. I've been through Zoloft, Lexapro, Lamictal, and right now I'm on Effexor and Xanax. I haven't really seen much effect from Effexor so my doctor is putting me on Wellbutrin. I don't feel motivated to do things anymore so I just lay around and avoid eating, talking, and all that. I just would like to know how others cope with this?

I'm 16, and im a nervous wreck. Some say it's all due to my thyroids, they asume they're over active, because i eat so much and don't gain a pound. I randomly have panic attacks, and what seems like asthma attacks. My heart skips a beat or so alot, or the beats sometimes feel exaggerated. I have a panic attacks everytime i fail at something. I think im a Kakorrhaphiophobic ( fear of failure or being defeated). My mom says im a hyperchondriac. I really don't know whats wrong with me. I've been to doctors, consulers, everything... They all say the same thing: Manic Depresent. I know for a fact that i am by no means depressed. I'm bubbley, and happy, and have a positive attitude twords everyone but myself.So inspite of their diagnosis, they put me on an anti-depresent, effexor. That medication put me threw the worst experience of my life, i will never take another anti-depresent again because of it.I can't even join social events! Panic Anxiety Disorder is taking over my life!

they were over and there it was on the counter the bottle of Wellbutrin and i know they saw it, it was akward and i didnt know what to do so i just pretended it wasnt there and i didnt want to do what should i do? So theres 2 parts you have to answer here. 1 is what would you do if you were over at a friends and you saw a bottle of Wellbutrin on the counter and 2, what would you do if you were the person whose Wellbutrin was on the counter and your friends saw it?

I like them because they taste great, are less filling and don't require ketchup on the side. That ketchup stuff can be messy and time consuming, especially if you are somebody who works.

Also, I like them because they go well with green beans and nobody has ever tried to hurt somebody with krispy kremes that I know of so I guess they are really peaceful. By that logic, If we were all krispy kremes there would be world peace and everyone would taste great!

Other than that, I like them because you dont need to mix them with mayonaisse and green onion like a can of tuna, that can be a real pain in the butt. They are fine the way they are!

Also, I knew someone with a krispy kreme hat and another guy with a krispy kreme coffee travel mug. Both of them were real nice, and they were not even the same person. They both golf though.

Plus theres lots of selection so every day you can try a new one every day for 3 weeks. So with all these things going on, should I stay away from ketchup?

I'm 21 and recently moved 600 miles from my mom. she suffers with manic depression and 3 weeks ago quit taking her lithium cold turkey. She knows what this does to her but she said that she just couldnt take being on meds anymore and quit. She said that her dr prescribed her an anit-physicotic drug instead but she doesnt want to take it either. Shes been on lithium for 10 years and i know how she was before she was finally diagnosed. She was depressed, slept alot, had really bad mood swings, would black out and attack people who made her mad and just little things that most of us take for granete she couldnt accomplish alone. I'm so worried about her and wonder if my moving away pushed her to this. I'm her youngest child and the only one of her 3 kids that she raised. Shes been under alot of stress lately with that and starting to build her new house. I just need to know what to do. thanks for anyone that answers with real answers.

What can one do to get over depression even if they don't want to talk to a counselor? And I'm talking about serious depression-- they won't eat, don't care about school, personal hygiene, and she gets no joy from her fish tanks anymore (which is very bad; because they are her LIFE).

I am trying a celibacy experiment. I don't have access to sex for a while now (separated from partner / prostitutes) so I'm also thinking of abstaining from Rosy Palm and her sisters' massage treatments (masturbating).

I'm thinking this will even out dopamine levels. Having the climax must be just hell on the brain's mood regulators even if you are just masturbating. I think giving it a couple weeks without the cheap thrill will really even out the brain chemistry and I'll feel calm and smooth all the time. That is my motivation.

Also, marijuana use really helped me reduce overall cravings. I feel like now I can go celibate. Before marijuana, it would have been nearly impossible. I'm not on marijuana anymore, but I'm sure it really helped. All of this seems to be based on chemicals.

Will my brain be chemically different after going celibate for a while? How will my mood change? By the way, I am Buddhist and am incorporating this into my religious practice.

i feel depressed a lot, not all the time, just a lot. maybe thats just the way i am, my personality. i have "ADD" so iv been told, but no, wait, could it be that i simply dont enjoy spending time doing tedious school work and is it possible that i just have a normal tendancy to tune out repetitive sounds and white noise? why is my personality a disease? im not a bad person.

My 7 year old has been taking the following meds since he was 6: risperdal, abilify and dextroamphet. My ex-wife told the dr's my mom has bi-polar (not confirmed) and they diagnosed my son with it. Now my ex is concvinced he needs these drugs. I have been against the drugs since the beggining. He has gained a lot of weight. He takes a pill "to help him sleep" but when he's with me on weekends, he sleeps fine. He had some trouble adjusting to a new daycare and school lasy year and think my ex jumped the gun and now my son is on these drugs, is over weight and I am powerless. If there's a Dr or someone with experience on this topic, please advise. My ex-wife has sole physical custody and on the divorce decree I have them every Fri-Sun. (starting a year ago I moved to every other weekend) Do I have any say in medical decisions? Thanks for any help provided.

I can usually fight off depression. Lately I just feel so depressed. I have been hurt by a lot of people. I have always been shy, but after getting a computer and internet, I thought I had found some wonderful friends online thru a group I started. After about 3 years of blissful ignorance of how some people can be, and how easy to hide their true selves on the net, some of these people started rumors and told so many lies about me to destroy me and the group. They did destroy the group and my sanity and mental health is hanging by a thread. How can I put all of this behind me and get on with life. It has been over 2 years since things started falling apart, and the people will not leave me alone. They take great joy out of making me miserable. I find it hard to keep going.

Everyone almost, except for some of my coworkers seem to "out there."Iam talking about family and neighbors. People in my town and my family are so rude and mean. I hate to go to the stores or even answer the phone. My aunt has some issues--a lot and calls and tells me about silly stuff like about curses and ghosts and such. Then I fear she calls just to pass information to my mother, who no longer speaks to me, since I got married. My mom is a big psychic and she tells my aunt crap. My neighbor, who professes to be my friend, recently told my aunt that I am having midnight rituals with my mom, another women, who works for my aunt, another neighbor and my husband. This woman also told my aunt not to trust me because I am paying the lady who works for her to tell me stuff about her and I am secretly visiting my mom. I know this lady is somewhat out there too, because she accused me of sleeping with her 400 pound husband years ago. I have another neighbor who calls and says such
