I have been takeing 75 mg of effexor for 6 years, the first day I met my new DR. she bumped me to 450mg for 2 days then 600mg. Her plan is to have me on 900mg soon. And with the Seroquel, it is new to me. She told me I can use as little as much as I want. She said if I am in the mood and want to pop 600mg its okay. Both of these seem to exsesive to me. I feel she is just trying to push the pills for her benefits not mine!

A close friend of mine told me he/she has PTSD. That person was raped as a child, I tried all i could to help them. (the rapist was put in prison) They are also in the military, but i dont think PTSD as to do with them being in the military, cause they like it.

What does PTSD do to someone, how can I help them? They dont talk about it, they are taking meds for it.

Please, this is a serious question. That people who try and withdraw from Seroxat often suffer a living hell, mentally, goes without saying. But I am asking this question from the point of view of the partner. My wife has been trying, on and off for the last four years to come off these wretched tablets. Now, she has become verbally abusive and "impossible" to live with insasmuch that there is nothing I seem able to do to stop our situation becoming explosive, even, dare I say it, violent. Our marriage, never strong, is now at broken-point and the children are suffering too. I really need to understand her plight better in order to somehow deal with this in a supporting and caring manner. Right now, everything I seem to do or say seems to make it worse.

Please - my question is to the partners, wives, husbands of seroxat withdrawal sufferers. How do YOU manage to cope?

Hey, I'm shy. I find it hard to dance in disco [or relax] and hard to talk to people I'm not comfortable with sometimes and talk to teachers because I'm at school [I'm a teenager] [And I'm a girl!]
Sometimes I feel I can do ANYTHING and sometimes I feel like crawling back into bed and giving up. It's so confusing! Any tips?

I have recently broken up with my girlfriend of 2 years, it was a very messy realtionship and it has completely ruined my head, what the worst thing of all, that i want to discuss is that we both had myspace accounts and she blocked me on hers , so to keep in contact wit her i created an alter ego ''willy'' to find out answers as to why we broke up and what she was doing with her life a month on, because i could not accept that we were over, and i was obssessed, at this point aswell, i was taking a lot of drugs which partly out of my paranoia caused me to do the things i did.

I am now every ashmed of what ive done, because she found out it was me and so did a lot of her and my friends, who now think i need psychiatric help, and a lot have fallen out with me.

I am at a very low point in my life and i am struggling to cope at times, resorting to alcohol but trying to keep away from drugs etc, bcos they had a lot to do with what was going thru my mind at the time

what do i do ?

I have been busy studying for the past 6 weeks. I have had hardly any contact with people except through Yahoo Answers for these past 6 weeks (except when I go to the store once each week).
I think I am starting to drift away or something. I feel like I am on another planet. My personality has changed. I study all day every day . Do you think if you had not any contact with anybody for a long time that you would be "losing it?" why does this occur?

what foods have what effects on brain chemistry?

"Chemical A" in "Food A" "increases/Decreases" "Chemical B" in the Brain thus causing "Affect"

i.e. (just blurting words) cellulose in broccoli increases dopamine in the brain thus temporarily alleviating depression.

i have so much going on in my life right now im finding it really hard to cope and just keep bursting into tears

my parents want me to move out but i cant because i have no money so i have to live in a place where im not wanted

i have recently broken up with my ex bf who treated me like complete cr*p cheating on me and everything. i am over him but i cant stand walking around college and always seeing him everywhere because it just brings back all the bad memories of the past

my friends try to help but they dont really understand and just tell me to cheer up

my new boyfriend is pretty much the only good thing in my life right now but i only get to see him for one day a week and i miss him so much for the rest of the week

so basically does anyone know any kind of way i can prevent myself from crying so much and being depressed because its getting others down too

please dont say to see a councellor because i have spoken to many before and they just dont work for me

I am serious when I say, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE for me to get up in the morning. The tiredness I feel is ridiculous, and I just get out of bed and turn off the alarm clock when it bleeps in the morning.

I have suffered from clinical depression, which made this problem worst, and while I have pretty much got over this some days I wake up in a depressive mood and find it too hard to get up and dressed.

Would change of diet (eg. more fruit etc) and more exercise help this? Is there anything else I can do that will make me feel more refreshed in the morning and not as though I'd rather die than get out of bed?

i recently started taking 10 mg of lexapro once a day and 150 mg of wellbutrin twice a day, plus valium as needed. i generally only take 1/2 a valium at a time.. usually only 1/2 a day.. if that.

anyways... in the information from the pharmacy, it says that lexapro and wellbutrin can cause seizures and the valium says it can increase risk of seizures in patients who have seizures and that if you are taking antidepressants you might not be able to take it.

i've taken the combo of lexapro and wellbutrin before and didn't have any problems, but i'm just wondering if anyone has really ever had a seizure from it? that kinda scares me! and if so, how do you tell if you are about to have a seizure?

When I have been to the doctor they always recommend anti-depressants but I am reluctant to take these as I am not depressed and they make me feel sick.

I have tried yoga, hypnotherapy and counselling to no avail.

Any advice? Thank you
