Hi - I haven't tried the program yet. I'm sitting on the fence about it for a number of reasons. Number one, I think I suffer more from depression with anxiety only occurring at times of peak stress -- depression is an underlying theme at all times. The other reason is that I tried therapy (a great therapist too) and medications (Prozac, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Celexa, etc.) for six years. I've been off of them for about 7 months now but seem to be slipping into a heavy depression/crisis. How many of you have been seriously depressed and have tried the above therapies for extended lengths of time? How many of you feel you are a "serious" case? After six years of professional help, I just don't know if there's anything that can help.

I have had serious depression and anxiety for about 12 years now (only treated for about 3 years). I have been on Wellbutrin and Xanax for 2 years and find that they help a lot. I tried going off of the medications for a few months and I slipped back into a deep depression. I go to a therapist on and off too. The medications were invented for people like us but they don't help us to address the reasons behind our depression and anxiety. I ordered the program to help me actually deal with my issues on top of treating my symptoms with medications. A therapist can help you problem solve too, but I always found that I had better solutions to my problems than the therapist did. I recommend that you try to deal with your feelings and get to know yourself better while treating your symptoms with medicine.

Hi! Just to put in my two cents worth I have been taking meds for depression for 3 years now...Luvox, Wellbutrin, Effexor, and now Lexapro. I also see a psychiatrist, and was seeing a counselor but am not at the moment. I am a psychology major working on my BS, then Ph.D. From what I have studied and read on the subject, many people seem to find that the best treatment is a combination of meds and CBT (like the program). There is strong support for a biological basis to depression, which is where the med part comes in. It just seems to take a very long time sometimes to get it all to click and fall into place. I am still trying to get to a somewhat stable place myself. I don't really know where I am going with this, but I just wanted to give you a few of my thoughts and let you know that you are not alone in this. Keep your chin up, and good luck!
