Dear Sean and anyone else who can relate:
When i was sixteen years old I took the anti-depressant Paxil (in the family of Prozac and Zoloft).
It worked like a miracle and totally changed my life. Before taking them I had dysthymia that turned into major-depression after a sad separation of mine
Anyway,I took Paxil for about nine months and its gonna be five years and my depression hasnt returned!! The only thing is Ive noticed that I have a very MILD form of manic-depression,which
I learned in a clinical psychology class. Ive read from another source that if it last longer than two years its called Cyclothymia.Im not complaining.I love the energy I have even though
I have insonmia.I feel blessed to be who I am and I love being hyper cuz I have more highs than lows. The positive definitly outweighs the negative. Its good to know that im not the only one whos had
anti-depressant-induced hymomania. Remember:If it doesnt interfere with your daily functioning that you dont need professional help.
In conclusion,Paxil saved my life (thanx to God
) and I want anyone suffering from depression to know that there is a cure with the right diagnoses,medication,as well as the correct DOSAGE.
Thanx,Jaz
