Well, Zyprexa is for mania and it's fantastic. How long have you been on the Prozac?

How long ago were you diagnosed. Can I ask? There a lot of medications out there. It might take time but never give up. You WILL find the "cocktail" for you. I am sure Uppity agrees. Keep trying. Keep going to your pdoc. Keep going to your therapist.

Depression and anxiety ARE treatable!!!

I've been on Prozac for quite some time, although I went off it for a while and restarted it a couple of months ago. I've also started taking Fish Oil supplements, which I think might also be helping. I was diagnosed with depression over 10 years ago but rediagnosed as BP2 last April.

Maybe it's time to revisit the Prozac and your depression. It's obviously not working. Really. It just seems to me that if it was working, you wouldn't be feeling this way.

Hey, Lainey! How are you?

Yeah Uppity is very wise

She is the voice of reason

I would bring that up to your psychiatrist

"If you could read my mind you would be in tears"

"Who cares when I cry"

"A smile just hides the tears we hold inside."
