"since puberty i had been diagnosed by everything under the sun except for what i really suffered, and have taken so many different medications the names have become a blur. finally was diagnosed at 34 with bi-polar disorder type 1 compounded by bouts of clinical depression. i was given triazadone, but couldn&#039;t take the vivid nightmares. depakote, which gave me migraines. finally found a good therapist who got me on zoloft. it took a good 4 to 6 weeks for it to accumulate in my system and i did have the runs for the first couple of weeks, but it made a huge difference in my life. just the thought of some doctor taking me off zoloft makes me panic. i never want to go back to my life before zoloft."
