I have bipolar disorder - severe - also known in the past as manic depression...!


Question: I have the highs and lows of course and have even gone into bipolar psychosis in the past when I originally got sick 13 years ago and also once when I went off of the meds I was on... however now I'm having serious depression problems - I know I need to be in a more southerly climate where there's more sunlight but I can't afford to move and that might help - but my question is what is a good antidepressant - is Lexapro any good? I hate to go on one as I've been on St. John's Wort for about seven years with other meds - any advice would help - I see my doctor on the 11th of Feb. on Monday - she's very nice... thanks...

i was put on lexapro once and i went off it...for real after i went off that my body went wack!....seriously it made my body **** all up and it was never the same...it could just be me but id be careful....i also think im bipolar..but people say no no no ...they really dont believe it ...but i dont get how your life can totally be stopped from such horrible depression and people just write it off ???????....im not on any meds right now...and i also have no life...LOL if someone had actually helped me when i was 18 i wouldnt of wasted the last 6 years of my my life....so at least your well enough to actually get yourself help...

this might sound weird and i might be totally wrong..but i feel like that medication made my hormones go all crazy...lol or maybe they just went crazy on their own....or maybe IM CRAZY haha ...

Try a sure pure raw SUGAR! Im not kidding. I have fibromyalgia and so much PAIN, and my moodswings go up and down so much i sleep for HOURS in the day and cant move , then im up wired ALL nite long. they have tried EVERYthng possible for me.....

This sugar is called RIBOSE. You can get it in natural food stores . Take 5 Tablespoons a day in a glass of water/juice. Make sure you take it daily. After 2 months you will see the difference. Its like you forget about it and one day you just wake up and realize you are feeling better!

You never tried Sodium Valproate (brand names: Epival, Epilim, Depakine). It helps most people. Study showed that St John wort doesn't help at all instead. Whatevever your antidepresant gonna be along with that I strongly recommend another natural component, that's Taurine (amino acid). Personally I use GNC brand. Very good for the depression. But really when so depressed don't do this anti chemicals agenda, use normal drugs. Canadian and American websites are the best to get info.

You too?!!!!
i thought I was the only one!!!
im not tired either.
