14. After I received my diagnosis, I started trying different combinations of antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and mood stabilizers. I've had life-changing-for-the-better experiences, and also several truly terrible ones. It can be so disheartening and maddening to try medications over and over, hoping you'll find the right one. This is my story.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, guys. Welcome back to Prologs. My name is Mary, and today's episode is highly requested. I'm going to be |
| 0:22.8 | talking about my medication journey and my experience with finding the right medicines and the right |
| 0:29.2 | combination of medicines for my mental health. I get asked about this topic all of the time. |
| 0:35.3 | Medication can be really scary and it can be difficult to find |
| 0:38.6 | the right one. And it definitely took me a long time. I've had a lot of ups and down. So I'm going to |
| 0:44.0 | share my experience with you guys today. I, of course, am not a doctor. I'm not a psychiatrist. |
| 0:48.7 | I can't give you medical advice at all. All I can tell you is my experience and maybe just share |

| 1:24.5 | in a second. First off when it comes to the life updates. So I got back |
| 1:28.7 | from Colorado last weekend. My 25 thoughts from my 25th birthday episode was recorded in Colorado. |
| 1:35.7 | And I'm really glad that you guys loved that episode so much because I had a really fun time |
| 1:40.6 | filming it. And like I said in the episode, I think birthdays are such an amazing time to sit |
| 1:46.6 | and reflect on the last year of your life and align with yourself and make sure that you're |
| 1:53.0 | thinking about your future goals and just reflecting. Birthdays, anniversaries, New Year's Eve, |
| 1:58.7 | these are all times of year that I just think are so special |
| 2:01.4 | energetically because they encourage you to be introspective and take a moment and just set |
