Oh this is so important! i'm from australia (that isn't the important bit) but i guess it's the same in america atleast, i found one of the greatest people on earth! she's a CBT, i forgot what this means but what she does is she's teaching me how to think normally again, and i'm getting better! it acctually works and i do this breathing thing and i'm getting better. i'm still on these drugs, Alprax 0.5, they're great to, i just take them as i need them kind of, i don't think you're acctually ment to though... anyway you should all find your selves CBTs ask your doctors for refferals and stuff, my doctor said that there's somethign like a 90% + success rate and i thoguht i was unfixable, but i'm not!

I had the same experiences with medications, but doctors keep pushing me to take more. I took Prozac, Paxil, almost everything there is.. the longest cycle was with Effexor where it worked for a time and then my blood pressure went sky high (never had a problem) then I was suicidal. I swear it was because of the meds. Also I read someone took Remeron - I had what looked like a stroke from taking that (called it TIA). I think there must be cures out there - this group for one that don't involve drugs.

Hello Ms. Depresso! I know exactly how you feel! I was taking Paxil for 7 years and I swore by it! (By the way, I gained about 90 pounds while on Paxil - I've learned that it is one of the side effects) After awhile I realized that (for me) medication was not the way to go because it really just masks the problem and doesn't take it away. So, after talking to my doctor, I weaned off it. Do not just quit Paxil - you have to wean off it! Trust me - you want to make that transition as easily and slowly as possible. Anyway, I truly believe that the only way any of us are going to beat this monster is through ourselves. I am glad you found this website because it proves that you are willing to do what it takes to try to make it easier for yourself. Take advantage of the 12 week program. I am on week two and have learned a lot about this. It really does help so give it a try. And, if you need any support or just need to talk to someone who understands exactly what you're going through, remember that everyone on this support group knows exactly what you're going through and really do care! Hang in there! I'm pulling for you! -Even a thousand mile journey begins with a single step. Edited on 4/4/2005 @ 10:13:15 PM by The Support Team

The Effexor made me feel - as far as I can think to describe it -- as if my brain was twitching. More specifically, it -felt- as if all the muscles in my face suddenly contorted, I saw a flash of light and was very faint for just a split-second. It was really terrible. Fortunately, those symptoms (for me) only lasted a few days, and while they were pretty brutal while they were at it, they were gone very soon.

I tried 4 differnt kinds of anti-depressants: Zoloft, Luvox, Imipramine and Effexor. Zoloft put me in the hospital with irregular heartbeats, Luvox and Imipramine made my symptoms 1000% worse and Effexor made my blood pressure plummet to the basement. I take Clonazepam to help with my anxiety, in combination with cognitive behaviour therapy. I'm almost 6 months pregnant and currently weaning myself off my meds. I'm having symptom rebound, but it is getting better. On the whole, the Clonazepam does wonders to help me cope with my panic and agoraphobia. Folks who don't have success with anti-depressants may want to look into this option. :)

Ms. Depressso: Hang in there with the meds. I also have gone from Effexor (stopped because of having a baby, but also no sexual interest on it). Then went to paxil (after the baby) - couldn't sleep properly, then tried Zoloft - had too much diahreah (can never spell that word) - now am on Remeron. Too drowzy on this one. I believe there is one out there for each of us. Keep trying until you find your match. I am going to my doctors today to see if Celexa will be the one for me. Hang in there! Are you seeing any therapists on the side to help with the depression? I swear by it, and have seen them on and off since I was 21. i am now 32. My dad committed suicide when I was 14. I hope you have a lot of family support to help you through this. Don't become another statistic. You can make it through this! Coming to this site was a great start!

Hey everyone. I just wanted to vent and tell about what happened to me when I took these "antidepressants". If you are reading this, I'm not trying to scare anyone, everyones bodies are different... Well I was just plain old depressed. I was 16, high school...you know, I just wanted to die. And I tryed, a lot. No success as you can tell. Anyway I got so depressed my stomach starting hurting all the time. I was so scared to go out into public because fear of my stomach hurting and there being no one to help me. (Thats when I got my first panic attacks) The doctors put me on nexium, then prevacid (didn't seems to work, PROBABLY BECAUSE I WAS DEPRESSED IT WAS ACID REFLUX) Finally they figured it out! Woohoo! Its crazy these people actually went to medical school. Zoloft. 1st week, nausea. I was so sick to my stomach I could hardly leave my bed. Okay! Lets get off that and try Effexor. At first nothing happened. About 3-4 weeks into it, I could feel it. Everything was so pretty. Like taking a fat extacy pill. I felt good. I was skinny and pretty, had friends everything was great. I stayed on Effexor (37.5mg) daily for 2 years. Then one day I just suddenly had a panic attack. Then it got so much worse. Everyday for 2 weeks I was having one panic attack after another. I couldn't be weaned off effexor because when I tryed taking the 12.5 mg it just got worse and worse. I ended up having to go to Tuckers (Tuckers=mental hospital) for suicide attempts. I just wanted to feel normal again and be happy. The only way I thought I would feel happy was in death. In Tuckers they got me off Effexor copmpletely and started me on 25mg Paxil CR. I'm now 19, almost 1 1/2 years on Paxil. Things were great. I remember saying "Paxil should be in the drinking water" I felt normal. Then I went from 105 lbs to 180lbs within a 6 month period. Now, today, I still am taking my paxil but I'm not feeling so great. I'm constantly getting "pinging" feelings inside of my head. I'm scared. I haven't had a panic attack, but I'm so scared of going to Tuckers again. It seems like I feel down the hole I've emerged from so many times. My life sucks again. I've had it with pills. I'm so sad. Any advice? Anyone out there? Does anyone care? [i]CAR
