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.

I couldnt read for almost 10years so maybe even longer. I didn't track the time. I was always a big reader. I finished 700page russian literature in a week. But for some reason I wasn't able to do this anymore. I could barely focus on a few Paragraphs, so I stopped reading. I tried it several times

The first night i couldn't keep my blankie and blew up and punched the shit out of my face so i have two big black eyes and my whole right hand is greeny purple.

I’m 30. I have struggled with this my whole life , unbeknownst to me. I went to multiple doctors and counselors, especially after I had my kids and was crying to them telling them there is something wrong with me please figure it out. They did labs and all kinds of testing. They told me it was in m

Anyone else have bipolar and told you have to take meds for life? I am worried about the long term effects of the meds but I am also worried about how I would do if I went off them. I am currently doing great. My meds are zyprexa/olanzapine and lithium.

And holy shit do I stink now. Not my whole body, mostly the armpits and it's like the really sharp and nasty sweat smell that usually comes from men who don't know what a deodorant is. This is what I wake up to every morning, F31 (Oh hey, that's the code for BP, never noticed this). Tbf I sweat exc
