I love the fact theat the wellbutrin has no side affects, but I've been on it for 4 years now and I don't think it's working anymore. I tried effexor first and it helped but I had terrible side affects, and withdrawl symptoms when I switched to wellbutrin. Now the depression is back, but I am also having anxiety again too. Can anyone reccomend anything that helps with anxiety and depression but doesn't have too many side affects or withdrawls if you forget to take it? I'm pretty sensitive to meds. I took one pill of zoloft that my dr wanted me to try and I felt flu like symptoms, jaw clenching, I was restless, couldn't sleep, and I even felt like I was on speed or something. I'm NOT going to take another, I didn't like it at all. I need to find something that will help me but I'm scared to try different ones because I don't want to feel bad. Help, please.. thanks.

When I was 18 years old one night I went out with my friends and somebody in the discotheque drugged me with LSD. It was horrible. I went straight to the hospital and was unconcious for a while. Today I am 33 years old and have suffered from depression, anxiety and panic attacks for 5 years. I have heard that these mental illnesses are caused by an imbalance in brain neurotrasmiters. Can that one time (of being drugged with LSD) caused this imbalance. How long does LSD stay in your system (body)? Does LSD affect brain neurotrasmiters?

I was lying down, fell asleep, and had a dream. In the dream, I knew I was sleeping, so I told myself to wake up. It was like I was half-sleeping, half-awake cause I can see what is around me, hear stuffs not loudly, but like mumbles. I tried to move my arm, but it didn't. I focused all my energy on it, but it didn't move. I kept trying to move my body, and suddenly I was fully awake and able to move. I can remember the exact feeling of how it was like. I experimentes a few times, like I fell asleep on purpose, told myself to wake up, and go through the same process again. It's weird. Can someone tell me what it is?

Without going into too much detail, I need to find out how to complain about a psychiatrist that hasn't diagnosed anything after a year of appointments. There have been three informal diagnoses of bipolar by other doctors, but because he is senior he has to write it before treatment can start. He just won't do it. The gp is useless, too busy and too starry eyed about the psychiatrist to hear a bad word against him. However, the gp does admit that he should've made a diagnosis months ago and can't think why he hasn't.
In the meantime, our lives are extremely difficult and we aren't getting the help we deserve. Theres no point in complaining to the gp anymore and the psych is the head of his bit. Any more ideas?!

OK...I feel sad all the time because I've had severe depression as long as I can remember - A lot of things have happened recently including the death of my mother that have made my depression MUCH worse!!! I feel both suicidal & homicidal & my shrink won't change my meds!!! She says "People are supposed to be sad sometimes" I understand that but the feelings I'm having are dangerous & I need help right now!!! I have said I feel suicidal & homicidal to her but she won't give me more meds or try a different one or anything.....What can I say to drill it into her head that I NEED SOMETHING ELSE NOW!!!! THIS ISN'T WORKING!!!! I make myself go out & do things every day & I still feel this way......I don't know what else to do!! I don't want inpatient treatment...... :(

My pharmacist now fills my Wellbutrin XL 300 prescription with the generic version Budeprion XL 300. I've been on the gnrc version for five weeks and have noticed an increase in depression and returning suicidal thoughts. I talked with the pharmacist to see if the generic version wasn't woking for me and he said that it's the same components as what is in Wellbutrin XL. To get the Wellbutrin, I would have to pay almost three times as much as the gnrc version. Can my doctor request that my insurance cover the cost for Wellbutin?

I asked if it is ok that I'm a mental health patient. That wasn't a very complex question. I don't think anyhow, but then again look at who responded to my "simple" question and their response. I think it is ok to be mental health, I was just woundering what the community thought about it. My response here is in no way malitious in any way shap or form and I'm very dissapointed to see such responses that I've received to my original question. I do know for a fact that most people that are seriousely disturbed upstaires have a very difficult time with facing such questions and usually would have a hard time admitting such.

HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!

Hi! Am a 25 year old healthy female with a great life. Dr. just prescribed me 50mg of Zoloft (generic kind) because I have some anxiety/stress issues. Had a death in the family on Christmas followed by my miscarraige. Stomach has been constantly upset and I haven't been eating right. I seem fine during the days and most nights but some nights I get really sick feeling. I haven't started the Zoloft yet as it is a serios drug and I have some reservations. Would like to try something all-natural first. However, I would like to hear any success stories of people who have taken this, how long were you on and what side effects you had from it. Thank you for your input.

I am young. And since a very close relative in my family has passed away 9 years ago due to Breast Cancer, my entire mentality and atitude has changed. I became more angry, more violent, and irritated. A few times a day, I would lash out on my husband, friends and family. I don't mean to do this, but unfortunately, I do. If I don't have something my way, I get angry, start to yel, hit and cry. I feel like there is a demon inside of me and I am scared this might ruin my marriage. After my aunt has passed away from that terrible disease, my mother and grandma had been diagnosed. However, they were strong enough to fight it. In my teen years, I felt depressed and suicidal and turned to drugs as my backbone. So yeah, then I was high and cracked out untill I met my present husband. He turned me life completely around. I have been sober for a year or two now. I am happy. However, when we fight (over nonsense), I lash out violently. I get irritated when many people call me at once.

I am 51, SWF, with rheumatoid arthritis. Even with the latest medical techniques, I have pain and fatigue. Also, my only son was killed when he was 16. I have no real friends, and my family just really isn't there for me. Church and prayer doesn't seem to help. I counsel schoolkids, but I am miserable. I also don't make enough money to live on. Counseling and antidepressants haven't helped. Please help.

Ex cheated on me in 2004. We broke up. He's been with "that girl" ever since. I was very sad at first and didn't feel like eating. Then, somewhere along the line, i started over eating and it's been a compulsion ever since. I tried going to 2 differernt counselors but I found no help at all. I eat a lot all the time, but I work out to keep the weight off and no one really can tell that I have this problem. I know it's because I felt hurt in the past over the ex situation, and before I start eating I think of how I am only ruining myself because I can't let go of the bad feelings that I was left with. I know I should be over this by now and the over eating is driving me crazy. I've recognized the problem, but what can I do to let go of the food issue? Please help.
