OCD, cyclothymia. I'm on Depakote and Klonopin and much prefer them to the SSRI's. I still have OCD thoughts and I still have mood cycling, but I'm willing to put up with it to not have my thinking dulled with SSRI's. My self image is way too tied in to being smart and bright. SSRI's robbed me of that feeling.
Besides I like being the quirky odd person that I am. I wouldn't want to be medicated out of that. Of course, my OCD and mood cycling are relatively mild compared to some. If they caused me enough discomfort, I might well make a different choice.
Your fibromyalgia sounds like a terrible thing to have to deal with. Chronic pain must really wear you out. Is it an immune related illness like lupus? I'm afraid that although I've heard the term, I just don't know all that much about it.
