Hi folks, this is my first time here. You will want to hear what I have to say. But first a little about myself. I was diagnosed with major depression in 1986. I went to a ton of doctors and have done a lot of tests to no prevail. Then hopelessness of this disease took over. I was totally consumed inside myself, isolated to deal with my fears. Times were extremely tough for years and coping was, and is, very difficult but do able. I am still alive. Roughly six years ago I was driving home from work and a very strong feeling of crawling into a grave came over me. By the time I got home I was like a zombie and felt totally stripped of my identity and the anxiety was so extreme that I suffered a breakdown on the spot. My depression had deepened severely. I never took medication before this time, I was coping and surviving day by day. I spent three days in a psych hospital and was prescribed Zoloft. I believe it was 25 mg pills once a day and got a consult with a psych doctor. Well the doctor seemed to be more concerned with was what else to give me rather than work on the meds I already had. She was giving me scripts for ADHD for crying out loud!!! My depression never lifted. Now I was surviving day to day on a deeper scale than before. How am I going to manage. I could barely write my name or finish a sentence. The feelings of death and hopelessness were so overbearing I could barely stand it. I ended up in the er two more times in a year and a half after that. I was upped to 100 mg of Zoloft. After two excruciating months the meds kicked in and I started to see some clarity. The depression was still severe but it was down to the level I first had except for the damned anxiety at times. So the coping continued. I went to see my doctor about two months ago for a blood panel test. I do have thyroid history in my family by the way. But all my tests keep turning up fine. This time it came back low iron(anemia). I have been taking multi vitamins and a 1000 mcg B12 vitamin daily for about two years prior to this appointment. But I haven't noticed any improvement on them. Just a couple days ago I thought "what the hell" and took two B12's for 2000 mcg. I woke the next day feeling better. The fear had almost subsided and I could think straight for the first time in a long time. Well it has been three days now and I am improving more everyday. I no longer suffer from shallow breathing, and the cronic light headiness is much better. I also never had any energy to do anything besides my job. Now thanks to the B12 I have lots of energy again. My dark has turned to light, full of hope and desire. All thanks to doubling my B12 dosage. If anyone out there is suffering like I have been, get some 1000 mcg B12 pills and take two. (I usually take mine in the morning). You will not have to wait for results as they work quickly. I'm sure you will see results in days. Remember, doctors don't care about you and how you are feeling. They are in it to fill quotas and pharm endorsements. May God bless you like he did me. There is hope people. Please let me know of your progress. Thank you all. Good night.
