Advice & Tips
I was on Wellbutrin for way to long. I needed a new antidepressant because the medication I had been on for 5 years was helping to make me suicidal and my PTSD worse. So my Neurologist suggested new medication 2 years ago and I would never change it now.

Advice & Tips
Taking Cymbalta and Zoloft at the same time (with Lamictal) so I'm not sure what works for what. I DO know that this was diagnosed for OCD, and it didn't work.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE HOW MANY SWEETS YOU'VE EATEN IN YOUR LIFE???? Or how many sweets you're eating now? I started on my b'day (I assume <giggle>) and I'm eating a chocolate bar as we speak. I'm not overweight (150#, 5'1"), I just like chocolate.

Advice & Tips
I started Zoloft originally in January 23, 2007, however since it worked so well, I went off of it in March 2009. This was the biggest mistake of my life. My anxiety went from being almost gone to worse than i was actually diagnosed. As a result I ended up in the hospital's psych ward, and eventually a year later a doctor finally prescribed me zoloft again, and i began taking it again. I've had no complaints since besides minor insomnia.

Advice & Tips
zoloft's just becoming too difficult to take .. the side effects are too much .. I'd much rather just be depressed than be depressed with all the side effects .. (i.e. inability to sleep, heightened anxiety, etc.)
