]]> Comment on Lexapro Shown to be Safe in Helping Teen Depression by admin http://healthfitnessvitamin.com/lexapro-shown-to-be-safe-in-helping-teen-depression/#comment-177 admin Tue, 14 Oct 2008 03:10:34 +0000 http://healthfitnessvitamin.com/lexapro-shown-to-be-safe-in-helping-teen-depression/#comment-177 Doc, you could not be more right! I began taking taking an SSRI several years ago and all it did was put me to sleep while leaving my mood unchanged. I quickly tried another SSRI that worked for a while and then quit. I have now been on a third medication for about 3 years and I have been feeling the best that I have ever felt in my entire life. You are right, different meds react differently to different people. Unfortunately sometimes the side effects leave a person really turned off. Taking medication for depression can be a long battle of trial and error. Most people end up being on several during the time that they take medication. For me that will probably be my entire life, but I am just grateful to be feeling good. Thanks for the comment.

When writing about any psychotropic medication or ANY medication for that matter, those in the medical profession have to be careful about using disclaimers. All people are unique and different and all people have different body/brain chemistry. This is why one medication will work wonders on one person, but not work at all on another. Finding the right medication often takes time and much patience as many people wait to get over side effects that often even turn a person away from a certain medication. I see this happen more times than I would like, but I do understand. Some people may experience side effects so horrible that they cannot deal with them for one more minute, while others have no negative reactions whatsoever. That is what makes this such a difficult process. I have written a couple of articles discussing this subject in more detail at: http://docinthebiz.com/blog/the-difficulties-of-finding-a-medication-that-works-for-you/ http://docinthebiz.com/blog/how-do-i-know-what-medication-is-best-for-my-mentalemotional-disorder/ I hope this will be found useful!

I was known to have a temper when I was in high school and also in college years. I let my anger out without knowing how to handle them. In the end my anger created dramas. But three years ago, something happened. I finally found out why I was easily upset and weep to tears. It was because I was insecure with myself. So my mentor guided me to overcome my fear and to become secure with myself. It took me almost a year to battle my insecurity. After a year, I managed to secure myself without even realizing it. I no longer have temper whatsoever anymore. I'm still calm and rational when I'm upset. Instead of shouting of anger, I embrace gentle discussion with the person that I'm upset with. Then my mentor told me "JJ, you have changed so much. You have grown up as a mature man now. Furthermore, you are secure with youself." Regards, JJ I am a very sensitive lad.

]]> Comment on “The Critic Within” by JJ http://healthfitnessvitamin.com/the-critic-within/#comment-169 JJ Fri, 15 Aug 2008 17:09:35 +0000 http://healthfitnessvitamin.com/the-critic-within/#comment-169 Scott, I do agree that there are people that scared to do something due to the voice within. But I also believe there is another type of people. Lazy people that do not listen to their voice within. By all means people have a lot of dreams, things that they would like to do - I want to do this and that. But in the end they do not do anything to achieve their dreams because they do not even try to motivate and move themselves to achieve their dreams. They just wish that their dreams would come to them automatically on their laps without any efforts. Sorry if I'm not making any sense.
