My boy, my oldest child, was so good when he was little, but something broke inside of him when he was a teenager. My wife and I always accepted, loved, and encouraged him. We pushed him to work hard and treat people with respect. I don’t know where exactly we failed him but as a father I feel resp
For most here this probably won’t be something you deal with more then a handful of times in your life. Which is why I think it’s important to know what your potentially walking into and the shit that follows you afterwards. I lost my dad three years ago to lymphoma/complications from it. Ive watch
Just saw a tik tok about duloxetine being recalled by the fda - when I look it up there’s tons of articles all saying it took effect on 10/10/24 but there is nothing listed about it on the fda’s drug recall page. Does anyone know anything about this? Also be prepared for the phone calls that the ti

I'm really struggling with my depression post-surgery. I think a big part of the problem may be my anti-depressant. I have had great success with Fetzima/levomilnacipran, a little-used antidepressant that unfortunately, ONLY comes in an extended release version. I think that, with my rny and shorte
Apologies for the wall of text - I've done my best to condense 15 years of crap into a reasonably sized post. ​ I have a depressive disorder. This much is obvious. I've been on antidepressants for 15 years. I've tried 6 of them in total (fluoxetine, sertraline, trazodone, bupropion, vilaz
Hello, I'm am getting off Wellbutrin, and want to research an alternative drug to ask my DOC about. This is for MDD, and this is what I found: Lexapro - escitalopram (SSRI, seems fine, side effects don't sound good.) Venlafaxine-Effexor (SNRI, similar to Wellbutrin, standard SNRI side effects)) Dul
