You're right Xon, thats the exact reason for me not being too keen on meds.

I agree - thanks for posting that you are on medications.

I've been on Paxil for years due to anxiety. I also started Wellbutrin recently for depression. I've been diagnosed with various forms of anxiety and depression over the years. I am going to try to go to a shrink again next month. My main problem now is that I can't sleep. The slightest noises, vibrations, or light (yes, even when my eyes are closed) will keep me up. I also sometimes stay up dwelling on things. I tend to dwell on things a lot. Right now I am dwelling on how freaking tired I am because I haven't had a normal sleep in months.

I also have been thinking a lot lately about why I feel like I don't fit in. Why I never grew out of throwing tantrums. Why I don't know what color my husband's or boyfriend's (yes, I have both) eyes are.

One of my odd defense mechanisms is that if I start to feel wierd in a conversation, I start quoting movies, songs, plays, things that famous people said. I have a very diverse and sometimes obscure knowledge of this and I think I put people off with that.

Anyway, I guess this post is getting kind of long. I should probably end this now since I want to go look at the articles and then I have to get back to work.

Hello.

I've been on amitryptaline and seroxat and they make me feel really dried out and tired. Given that they're supposed to be treating my depression I can't understand how making me feel rough is going to help? Feeling dehydrated and tired but unable to sleep doesn't exactly help my mood :evil:

I like Wellbutrin - it hasn't had many side-effects and helps me to concentrate.

I am in college too. I am in my last term finishing a Masters of Public Health degree.

I take zoloft for social anxiety. A few years ago I tried weening myself off of it, but after ten months I didn't feel any better than I was when I took it and I suffered from depression and loneliness. Realized my mistake and got back onto it again.

Annie,
You wrote in my thread that you had a nice time talking to me. I answered in my thread, but I don't think that you checked it. I was wondering what your chatroom name was. Everyone there seems really nice, but I don't remember an Anniegirl or Anne or anything like that. Obviously I just use my WP username to chat.

Jani
