I need some help with medications, what kind do you think would be good for my problems? Maybe someone else has all 3 of these problems, if so what are you taking? I am concerned about side effects especially from long term usage.

I have depression: apathy, panic attacks, sleeping 20+ hrs a day, suicidal thoughts... its gotten very bad over the last 2 years. My father took me to a psychiatrist and she said my depression wasnt that bad, I didnt tell her she was wrong. I was barely talking to her and I didnt want to be there.

She discovered I have a social phobia which means I dont like people looking at me and I dont like to look into other peoples eyes or talk to them... things like that. She wanted to give me medicine and group therapy but I refused it, even the thought of the group therapy terrified me and I didnt want to take medicine that I didnt know anything about.

I see now that I also have ADHD, I have the inattentive kind which is not hyper, I never even heard of such a thing until the other day but I have all the symptoms of it. This was actually "diagnosed" by a teacher I had in first grade as retardation and I got branded as a retard all the way into highschool because they must have put it in my records. She even had my dad calling me retarded and dyslexic, whenever someone asked about me he would tell them I was retarded. :mad:
