I need to weigh the lesser of two evils, take the meds and deal with uncomfortable side effects or treat mysefl with diet, supplements, exersise, and regular sleep.
I've tried Nuerontin (caused anxiety), Serzone (ZZZZ), Zypexa (zombie), Wellbutrin (severe agitation), Zoloft (felt like I took a hit of LSD), Prozac (SD and insomnia) and Depakote (stoamch pain and anhedonia).
Because I am on SSI, I have less stress and am at present able to be off meds and not have any significant mania or mixed states. But I do have a stubborn depression and am thinking about Lamictal. I'ts a tough decision, I am kinda lazy about treating myself (I mean 6 days of working out a week, many suppplements, which are expensive, no coffee, meditate, do yoga, get therapy, stay positive at all costs, get to bed by 10), It's really too much sometimes.
I'ts either that or take the meds.
