Hi Mrs. C - I'm so glad to hear that 20mg has been good for you! In regard to your current worries - information seems always to be the best panacea! Talking to your doctor right away was good. I do notice with the Lex, I don't obsess as much or for as long. Have you ever taken any medication for this, like xanax?
Was it Lexy who was going to recommend some tapes to you for coping with this? I think your best bet is to try & re-program yourself so you can go into some type of automatic "routine" whenever you go into worry over-drive.
My worst time for obsessive thinking is while I'm driving home from work - it's about a 40-minute drive. My therapist gave me a Danielle Steele book on tape to listen to. I get pretty wrapped up in the story and don't think so much. Whenever I find my mind wandering, I can more easily pull it out of danger while listening to the tapes!
Good luck, wish I had a fool-proof answer for you :-)

Hey everyone, I have been feeling so good lately thanks to my increase to 20mgs. But yesterday I found a swollen lymph node on my neck and that sent me into an obsessive panic. I haven't felt that way on a long time. I went to the doc today to have it checked out and she eased my mind a bit. I realize that I need to let it go but I don't know if I can or even how to do it! I could really use some help with this. Can anyone give me some ways to let this go and not worry. I will appreciate any advice! Mrs. C
