In reply to Diagnosed with Cyclothymia, posted by Di_Lee on September 5, 2006, at 9:00:42
Hi.
> I was diagnosed with Cyclothymia a little over a year ago. I had suffered with depression for quite some time and also panic disorder. I would get panic attacks quite often. I had mood changes a lot. I would go through periods of depression (which lasted quite awhile) and then followed by periods of elation. I remember thinking "why do I feel so happy". It was a constant roller coaster. I started to drink, which only masked the disorder. A little over a year ago, I decided to "end it all" and took pills. I ended up in the hospital. Thank God a phyciatrist took on my case, and got me on medication. I feel so much better now. I don't have the drastic mood changes anymore and can function much better. I am currently on Zoloft, Trileptal, and clonazapam. Just want to let everyone know that there is help out there.....It may take awhile, but hang in there!!!
Nice drug suite. I wish you continued success.What drugs, if any, had you tried prior to finding the ones that woked?
Stay well.
