is it working?

are you also doing cognitive behavioral therapy for your problem whatever it may be?

i start therapy monday. im going to see a psychologist for OCD.

wish me well guys, i hope he doesn't misdiagnose me.
 
A friend of mine suffered from manic-depression for years before he finally got diagnosed... best thing that's ever happened to him. Good luck!
 
Is Welbutrin (sp) an anti-depressive? I am not on it, but a Doc perscribed it to me for quitting cigs. I never filled the script.
 
I was on Celexa for OCD last year. Dosage was increased from 30mg/day at the start to over 60mg/day by the end. Despite my comments that it made me feel dull, bored, and tired, I was forced to continue by my parents for 9 months. My grades, formerly A/A- average, fell to C+ averages. Though I has less social anxiety and reactions to OCD stimuli, I seemed to have less of everything.

1 year later, and I'm taking a vitamin supplement called truehope. I feel fine, OCD has improved significantly over the year, social anxiety is lower than ever. Though I may not be happy with my life, I'm farther from depression than I ever was on Antidepressants. My grades have gone back to A/A-, my class rank has shot up from 200 to 75 in one semester, and I'm enjoying life more than ever, though still not enough. I feel 'sharp' again.

Antidepressants are not the best solution. I'd reccomend 1st trying standard exposure/response prevention training or EEG Biofeedback, which my father, a psychologist, has claimed is working better than any previous method for most people. Unfortuantely, I had some sort of anxiety problem with it and was incapable of doing it effectively, but I would reccomend it to anyone with nearly any sort of mental disorder.
 


<< I'm recently getting pissed over everything. Is there something to make me happier? >>



same here....i started on Paxil....only been on it for about 3 weeks....i can tell i have chilled out....but i dont feel "happy" just sorta mellow....also makes it so you last all frickin night long (yes i mean sex)...read a post earlier about Zoloft being a good one without this side effect...
 
I've been taking Zoloft for quite some time, and it's been great in helping me get over my angry, repressive childhood and teenage years(don't ask -- my parents did the best they knew how). Now that I have a fantastic girlfriend, a great job, a spiritual center, and basically a pretty darn good life, my doctor is recommending that I stop taking it starting this Wednesday. Woohoo! 🙂

WA261, Zoloft does have the same "side-effect" that Paxil does, or so I've read. The girlfriend and I are celibate until marriage, so I haven't had a way of testing it out. Seriously. 😱
