Hmmmmmm, no I haven't heard of that. I will have to google vagus nerve stimulation and look it up. But even if it works, I could never afford it, but it is good to know about these things. I like to know as much as I can about this kind of thing.

I have major recurrent depression, social anxiety, dysthymia, bi polar, ptsd and schizo affective, which the that latter I do not believe.

It can be very hard to medicate mulitple DX's.....so for all out there with any kind of disorder, I feel for you and wish you the best!

That is not seeking sympathy. It's sharing.

People in my family have problems with taking antibiotics with allergic reactions and stomach problems. It can be frustrating.

They are always coming out with new meds. You never know what the future may bring.

So far I have had reaction to penicillian, codeine, (regular meds, I will die from penicillian if not treated fast enough

Right now I am on Paxil and it seems to be working ok.

My mother can die from penicillian. My child just developed a rash from cough medicine with codeine. I am allergic to sulfa drugs and they can be in anti-inflammatories. And then there's side affects. Ugh.

Yes, I know the frustration.

Paxil is okay for you. Is "okay" better than some of the other drugs?

yes, the other drugs make me sick. So far paxila nd zoloft don, but zoloft stopped having an effect on my depression.

I'M ON XANEX.

BUT,I HEARD PAXIL IS GOOD.

Heya, I admire that you were strong enough to come out and talk about something like this the way you did. It takes a lot. I was clinically depressed from like 2nd grade on. I was finially diagnosed and put on meds in like 7th grade because it got so bad. The meds helped, though if I forgot to take them, that pain was terrible. My dad ended up getting rid of my meds one night and the time I went through was bad, though I learned that every emotion has something to tell you. The meds helped me ignore my problem, as it were. The school social worker helped me learn to guide my thoughts and after talking about some things I was able to face other things myself. I learned to face myself. Then more recently I've discovered Ki/Chi/Prana. I've learned to manipulate it on the most basic of levels and that gives you energy and teaches you peace of mind. It's also opened up the doors on my beliefs. After a lot of thought, and all mentioned, I'm happier than I've ever been. I've gone through hell and had to deal with hell to get here but It's worth it. I don't know if that helps, but I truly believe there is hope for you and that when you are willing to go through hell to leave it, you will find what you deserve.

thumbs up to you!
these meds do cover up my neg. feelings,but they also stopped my neg.thoughts.
I wonder if there really is a way to get off the meds.
your lucky you had so many people there for you!

I have alot of support but I still have "Dark" days. Sometimes to the point I think I may need to be hospitalized, usually i don't end up going though.
