    About Me

    I have a panic/anxiety disorder and i also suffer from depression. I have tried numerous antidepressants. First Paxil..which seemed to do nothing. I was on it for about 8 months. I felt suicidal and wanted to just go to sleep and not wake up. Then i was perscribed zoloft. I was on it for about a year. It didnt seem to help either. I sort of gave up on meds making me better. It has been about a year with nothing and i would like to try another kind of med to see if it helps. Got to get a doc first.

    Interests

    My interests are art, music, antiques, and history.
