I am manic-depressive. It went undiagnosed for a very long time. I finally got on meds back in 2000, thanks in a very large part to my wife. I currently take Zoloft. I'm up to 150 MG a day and it seems to be working well. I've had my dose upgraded twice, from 100 to 125 and then from 125 to 150. It works for me. Some other folks I've talked to swear it made them more depressed. You have to find a med that works for you. I was lucky, first med worked for me.

EDIT: Damn, I forgot to say that in addition to the meds, I have a blog that I use to get the shit out of my head. I talk about suicide and death, but as more of a release than as an option. I attempted suicide once but failed miserably and no one knew about it. I honestly believe I'm here now because I committed suicide in my previous life. The urge to to it was so strong at times, it just seemed like I'd been there before. Now, if I could just get back into exercising and working out. Oh, I do meditation as well. It helps.
