Hi every one I'm new to this site so not really sure how to use it. Anyway, I've been depressed as long as I can remember... the first time I attempted suicide was when I was eight years old.

I'm taking Cymbalta and Neurontin for depression and anxiety and occasionally clonazepam.

I was told to take the clonazepam sparingly and I only take half a pill if I need it because a whole pill will make me too sleepy. But lately, that doesn't seem to help.
