HUGS FOR YOU GERRI
Hug
Saw where you had a birthday....hope it was a good one!
Hug
Just sending a hug to another spirit. I too have had this passed down by bad genes. Too bad it doesn't go away like the fads of bad looking "jeans" do! Smile!

Close Anxiety
Generalized anxiety disorder is the diagnosis, along with clinical depression. I've been working with a psychiatrist since early this year.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- Didn't really target this at anxiety - Klonopin seemed to take care of that just fine.
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- Very effective for my anxiety symptoms. Highly recommended!
- Lexapro Not Working
- I had to stop taking Lexapro - it definitely increased my anxiety and made me pretty sick. Tried Prozac next...
- Prozac Not Working
- Tried it for about 2 months - didn't help or hurt. Switching now to Cymbalta.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionBeen my unwelcome friend since elementary school - I think clearly an inherited thing from some bad genes in the family. Has ebbed and flowed over the years. Working on this one is a real bitch - but you knew that already.
Treatments
- Lexapro Not Working
- Made me sick and more anxious. Stopped this shortly after starting.
- Prozac Not Working
- No bad side effects, but not much difference in my mood either. Stopped after about 2 months.
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- Once my dosage was raised to 60 mg., it seems to have done the trick. Cautiously optimistic.
Open Breakups & Divorce
Been good and been bad. I've given and I've received. Marriage has been good to me so far. We're hanging in there.
