It's funny -- certain stresses I have no problem dealing with, I'm like Superman, while others I curl up in a little ball and hide. And the latter are usually the normal things that everyone can handle, while the former are the things that people normally freak out about. I think I'm upside-down.

Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
Latuda, 40mg -- for the paranoia (delusional type).
Adderall, 40mg XR & 5 mg reg -- for the ADD.
Xanax, .5 mg as needed -- for the anxiety.
Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.

MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .

Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.
