dont know ya but congrats on 6 months. it is hard and we all have to be proud everyday we dont go back to what we were. hang on i am not as far as you but i know for all the rough days the goods ones are so much better than they used to be

Congratulations on your 6 months! That rocks...Keep on going! JoAnn

thanks for your reply. i take ativan but only when i'm having a panic attack. i got over this stuff for 23 years, then had a mini stroke and the fear brought it back.

Hope you feel better soon!

Congratulations! Time for a celebration...awesome! Seriously, I think you will start feeling even better. It's okay if you have another not so good day...but you'll notice they are few and farther apart. I remember that by day 14...I was like wow....and the bad days and memory of them start to fade away! Keep it up, you are doing really well! The Lexapro will make you more stable and even things out a little bit. I was one of those people that denied I would need an SSRI for a long time...I even have a graduate degree in psychology...but sure enough, I got to the point where the anxiety was really bad an debilitating (leaving work, calling in sick to avoid meetings, closed door at work)...and I knew I needed to get a handle on things....Lexapro really saved me, to some degree.

You are doing REALLY great. Again, hang in there...I know it's tough and when you are wanting to feel better, time goes SO slow....I couldn't hardly stand that! Give that Lexapro at least until day 14. Keep up updated! I'm pulling for you, bud!

No problem. The Lexapro starter pack (they used to give them out) used to have 5mg tablets for a week, then you jump to 10mg. So, if you start feeling anything bad, talk with your doctor. Take care!

Just checking in to see how your anxiety is going? Hope you are working through it. Keep me posted.

You are so welcome. Hope that helps because boy it saved me. Good luck and keep in touch.

Congratulations on your 4 month anniversary! Great job!=)

Just a quick note to say hi! Thankyou for responding. i am in sooo much pain today..it was letting up just a tiny bit but really the pain is more specific and I know from my previous mri that the s-1 joint is very involved here..I definately won't go to a chiro right now..thankyou..Lisa

I still can't believe the Canadiens beat the Flyers! Hopefully we'll get them, Are you rooting for anyone?

You're very welcome! Anytime you need to vent or talk, I'm here. Sometimes I actually Do make sense...=)

Just a quick note to say hi! I have HUGE anxiety as well. This can be defeated.

You deserve a big bear hug! You'll be fine...trust in yourself!...=)

Just a quick note to say hi! Consider Lexparo. Just for a couple months. You will feel so much better. If you need anything, I'm here for you!!!

Thank you for everything! I'm glad it gone for now, My kids can put me in a bad enough mood without the extra moodiness.

Thank you for everything! It's nice to know I'm not going any crazier than I already am. Where in Fl. are you until a few month ago I live close to clearwater. Have a great day.
