"since 2006 i have been on some sort of med for my depression or what my family doctor thought was depression. first med was lexapro and boy did it send me into a manic stage. never felt so high in my life, a cloud was lifted. that drug worked for a while but soon after it lost its effectiveness. tried about every ssri on the market until we ran out and at that point i did not want to live anymore. family dr sent me to a psychiatric hospital in which i saw my first pyschiatrist who said my ocd was the root of my depression so he put me on luvox along with my klonopin. after a while i seemed better but not for long. been on depakote er 1000mg ever since and everything seems fine, except weight gain. mood better."
