It is reassuring to read how obsessed we all become about our health, by powers of "suggestion." I definitely suffer from that, too. Can I join the Hypochondriac Club? I have been writing a biography of a woman who ends up with a tumor behind her left eye...and for the last six weeks I've been having vision problems in my left eye (ever since I moved up from 10mg to 15mg of Lex). I guess there are a lot of us who play that painful "what if" game, with the worst possible scenario. But I do think Lexapro helps me not continually think about it and worry as much as I used to. Some habits are really hard to break, though, and it's almost as if I've practiced and trained to always imagine the worst.
