Thanks Jeff, I really liked that list.... there are a few names in there which are idols of mine.
In that case I may be smart, after all.

Ok, I admit it! The little guy made me laugh!Originally Posted by squirtle
Victor-
I don't know you very well, but I think your a smart guyYou are getting help for the depression and you're going to fight it and not let it bring you down. I applaud you for this(you have to admit that little clapping guy made you smile!) Hang in there and I promise that everything will work out and you will feel better. ((HUGS))
Please remember that everyone reacts differently to different medications. Some people do great on Paxil, otherwise it never would have made it to market. I personally know two people who went suicidal on Prozac, even though someone else here said they've done well on it. I went on Wellbutrin at first, but it turned me into a jittery insomniac so we switched.Originally Posted by vinceneilsgirl
Whatever you do, don't let them put you on Paxil. A friend of mine was put on it recently after a suicide attempt and it not only didn't help her depression, it turned her into a paranoid pile of tears who was well on her way to another suicide.
Only because they have visible symptoms, dear Victor. And there are lots of people with undiagnosed diabetes and heart disease, and lots of people who have it but don't show any symptoms because they manage it so well.heart disease or diabetes is worser than depression when you think about it
For the record, Victor it sounds like Zoloft isn't working well for you at all. I would call the Dr. who prescribed it ASAP and talk to him/her about what you have been feeling since you started taking it. I never had that kind of reaction to the AD when I was on them....I am still feeling shaky from it, but I went through some kind of horrible feeling. Just plain anxiety... my hands sweating and trembling and your heart racing and an an undescribable anxiety. I am being told it could have been a panic attack.
I am still shaky over it, but I feel getting calmer.
The worsest thing is that I was home alone at the worsest moment of it.
My parents just arrived, but I am more tranquil now.... its kind of a "hit and go" thing.
Please tell this to the folks at the forum. I am writing this in a hurry, and I am not feeling well. But I feel I need to tell you folks the crucis I am going through right now.
