> I was having headaches that I couldn't get rid of, seizures, when I broke out, they were more painful, my moods would change dramiticly, I'd have crying spells, that kind of thing.> I think that I may have a little OCD, but not enough to worry about right now. What I'm mainly worried about at this point in time is the A.D.D., depression, and anxiety. These have done a lot of damage to my G.P.A, and relationships with friends, family and my boyfriend.

> I don't get what you mean. You mean when you switched to prozac, you felt a 'difference' (improvement) 2 days later? is that what you're saying?
> > I felt an improvement almost overnight with the effexor. On the prozac there hasn't been a noticable difference yet. I've been on it for three weeks as of saturday.
> > Thanks for your time. I'm gonna try to get some sleep tonight.

> Are you having problems sleeping? If yes, try 50mg trazodone at night, it takes away the problem of sleeping. I had my 1st good night sleep in 28 years of my life when I 1st took trazodone.

> I am having problems sleeping, but I think most of that has to deal with the fact that I'm in a dorm and it's noisy. I would rather not have any more medications because I'm afraid that I would forget to take them. I have a hard time remembering the prozac and my birth control as it is... so I don't think that it would be very smart to add other meds. in. I seem to get my best studying done when everyone else is in bed and it's quite. They don't make the walls very thick, so you can hear a lot of noise when everyone is up.
