MDJunction to me

fluffyluggage"I found MDJunction at a time when I was struggling with so much. I
was so sick. I found a home, a place where people understood me, when
even my family doubted me. In MDJ, I found a place of refuge, love,
and support. I come here daily, to find my balance, to cope, and to
find that same support I've found from day 1. MDJ is my new family.
The friends I've made here will remain with me for a lifetime.

Each medication makes people react in different ways. Sometimes it's better to start one medication at a time. Maybe talk with your doctor about that? Call your doc to describe how you're feeling on it.

I was put on it for a while but it made me too disoriented and cloudy headed. It caused he to have horrible nightmares as well...

Ick, then it's probably good to get off it if you haven't already (of course with dr's supervision). It's hard to find the right medication that works. Hang in there and you will find the right mix. The med-go-round is quite frustrating and difficult. There is hope. Many of us have found the right mix and are doing well while others of us are going through the same thing you are. The goal is the same - to feel better.
