Hi everyone, I have been using Zoloft (actually generic equivalent) for about a decade now. Started with 25 mg. Now I am taking 150 mg. It has not completely stopped working, but due to my husband's mental illness - which you can find in my other posts - I seem to find myself depressed and crying a lot. What meds have you tried for depression? What side effects did you have? What was you experience. ...

Hello everyone Ive recently been diagnosed as bipolar, of course when I told my family (not immediate family EX: Mom/Husband), I got told that my diagnosis was not real and that Im just moody and to "stop bring a bitch". I also have OCD, and my grandma constantly says that OCD is something that will go away. Yeah something ive had since I was a child, and it will just vanish one morningv ...

I really didnt know what to title this. So i am here because i need a listening ear and i cant talk to anyone in my family or friends group without worrying them, and its not really something to worry about. My dad is dying, slowly, and he has started to lose control over his body and his is miserable most of the time. My mom is his primary caretaker, but i am leaned on ...

Been in therapy for trauma issues for a long time. Always optimistic with a can do let's work this out attitude. Altho had bouts of what T called depression, came out of it & moved on. After a serious revelation, the bottom just dropped out. I just don't care..about anything. Ridiculous that I know I don't care, should, but I don't care. My T doesn't do meds if there is anyway to avoid it. Hospital ...

Hi, I used to be a highly sensitive person and now I would classify myself as "anhedonic". I don't really have highs or that many lows anymore. It's like I've flatlined.

Before I use to feel connected to everyone around me and now I can't feel it anymore. For instance, I can't read my emotions when I am about to say something to "judge" what the reaction will be. It's like I've lost my sixth ...

disclosure: my therapist thinks i have bipolar II. not looking for a diagnosis as I'm already talking to a professional but I would like to know your experiences (could be mania or hypomania).

skip to the bottom if you don't wanna read!

So for the past few years I've had bipolar II as this diagnosis lingering over my head but I feel like I don't identify with a lot of other people's experiences. I don't ...

Hi,
So I was recognised with above conditions and I wonder if there's anyone else here who shares that mixture of disorders and if yes how does it show up in you.
I just feel very confused about everything right now.

Hi there,

As somebody with the crippling fear of gaining weight, I have heard lots of stories of people on various medications (Zyprexa, Seroquel, Abilify etc.) that claim they have packed on the pounds from these. Is there a particular science behind this? Is there any way to avoid this? As someone who plans on going on medication soon I am quite worried about this.

Thank you.

TRIGGER WARNING

First of all, I will say I am undiagnosed but I do have a history of Bipolar disorder/schizophrenia in my family. I am seeking help at the moment for my issues but would like help from others who might be experiencing the feelings I have.

I will go through episodes that can last days where I absolutely cannot concentrate on anything, ramble on in conversations, feel extremely irritable and crabby and have animosity ...

I have been on Latuda for the past 8 months. I tried to stop it 6 months ago and had a psychotic episode. I know that it's risky to stop but I was wondering if anyone has successfully stopped it. I just can't be on this medication because it's ruining my life. I started making a lot of mistakes at work because of poor cognition induced by the drug. I have no concentration and don't ...
