About Me

Twenty-nine going on thirty years old. Life long sufferer of major depression and anorexia. Panic disorder kicked in two years ago when my mother and brother died. I've tried all of the SSRIs, Wellbutrin, Seroquel, and the poisonous benzodiazepines. My psychiatrist finally put me on Depakote ER, two 500 mg pills each morning. It seemed to help a little at first. After blood tests confirmed that my Depakote blood levels were too low, my doctor increased my dosage to 2000 milligrams a day along with Trazodone 100 milligrams. My seizures have ceased. My panic disorder symptoms have subsided. My major depression is the same. The Trazodone was prescribed more as a sleep aid for me, but it leaves me feeling the living dead.
