Before meds, I was 8-9. Every day I would have crying episodes that lasted 10-15 minutes. I could feel in my brain a form of what I'd consider to be pain(same sort as if I had severe diharrea). Now I'm 2-3 and off the meds.
That's a really good improvement, mate! Crying episodes are a sure cause for alarm, but that's really good. :thumbup:
I was at 0 or maybe minus 2 for short while in 2008, right when I started to be able to run again. Best time of my life. So that's what happiness is I discovered.
^ahhh in that case definetly an 8 for me. Lol@zero! what were the meds?
Citalopram.
My mom takes a half version called esCitalopram(she says the small 5mg a day helps a lot), but the full version is supposed to target both anxiety and depression.
It fluctuates a lot day to day depending on several different factors I suppose. I am definitely more depressed now than I used to be, but it's not really a constant and steady level of depression. 'd say it can range from about 3-8 on any given day.
