velvetcherri Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hello ^__^ I'm not entirely sure how to do a proper introduction, so I guess I'll just go with the basics. I've been depressed for as long as I can remember - but recently I've become a bit manic as well. Hyper, angry... different. My biological mother is bipolar, so I kind of expected it anyway, but I'm not liking it I was on meds for depression and anxiety for about 5 years, and then about 4 months ago I got off of everything. I was doing really well. Not so much anymore. I went back to my psych this past Friday, and he gave me Lamictal and Zonegran. I went back today and I've got Anafranil and Xanax PRN I've got an incredibly supportive husband who has been with me through major depression, suicide attempts, hospitalizations, and freak-outs. We've no kids, but 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 3 ferrets. So yeah... here I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grousemouse Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 hi vc, welcome to the site. were you getting therapy for the five years you were being medicated? i myself have suffered from major depression and general anxiety since late childhood but only in the last 2 years did i get put on meds and into proper therapeutic care. i have heard that people who are feeling quite good will take themselves off their meds only to find their situation deteriorate. i am being very careful to avoid that because i too am finally starting to feel quite a bit better. however, i am in what will be fairly long therapy i think. i believe i have had enough to 'get by', but i want to really push hard and find out what's really wrong with me in my head. sorry for blabbering on about myself. welcome to the site. grouse.
