Hey, I'm better now, no longer need any meds at all, but the following info covers my past. My name if Jeff, I'm 35 (now 36) years old, and I suffer from Anxiety, Depression, C-PTSD (that I'm not going to repeat the cycle), and finally Fibromyalgia (one of the very few guys out there with a 9 to 1 ratio). Due to the meds that I take, I have to also take something to keep me awake, originally it was 250mg of Nuvigil, but now after being laid off, I take 60mg of Ritalin due to the cost and lack of insurance. Most of my conditions are very much under control at this point. ___________________________________________________ It feels good to talk (write) and bounce ideas, especially about illnesses that are generally considered to be things not to be talked about, which really is a shame. It's ok to talk about a broken arm, but not ok to talk about problems regarding emotional conditions. This has at least been my general experience as a whole. It seems that it's very ok to talk about things that can be put under a microscope and or x-rayed, but if that is not the case, then it seems to be something that is generally shunned. I look forward to sharing my personal experiences as well as talking with whomever is willing! I also look forward to opinions that differ from my own, as I have no interest in talking to myself (in other words, don't worry, you can't offend me, but I will respond if I disagree or simply don't understand. For that matter, if I feel that I was wrong, I'll be the first one to admit it as well! I hope that I am able to help others and give the best advise that I can, although I would never claim to have the expertise of any sort of doctor or therapist.
