Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 I have been on antidepressants for fibro for about 6 weeks so far and have noticed no improvements at all. In fact, my exhaustion and muscle pain have gotten even worse since then. Do antidepressants *always* help? Does anyone take St 's Wort (or the like) in place of antidepressants? Um and forgive my poor manners, I suppose I should introduce myself... *blushes*. My name is . I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and I'm 26 years old. I'm a single mom of a fabulous 8 year old girl. I work full time (well, I'm *supposed* to work full time lol) as a computer programmer. I was diagnosed with FMS a little over a month ago. I believe I've had it for years, but it's never been as bad as it has been these last 6 weeks or so. I've not found anything yet that has really worked well for me, but I've not been searching as long as a lot of you, so I'm still optimistic about it. Okay, *sometimes* I'm optimistic about it... other times i want to scream and run around in circles, but that only makes it worse, eh? lol I was engaged, but when the decided it was " all in my head " , I broke it off. It's hard enough having *doctors* who don't believe you, much less a fiance. My mother is a godsend in so many ways, she's very understanding about my condition and tries to help as much as she can. I'm going to see a new doctor tomorrow from the Co Cure good doctor list... I'm hoping he can do more than what those before him have (ie, write an rx, pat me on the head and send me on my way). I've got my fingers crossed! That's about all I can think of for now... lol Regards, --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
