Mystic, I am so sorry you have been having such a hard time. It's bad enough that we have our *issues* to deal with, but now we have these tofu'ing meds on top of it! Is there such a thing as therapy for the therapy??
I'm sorry if everyone has felt like I desserted the thread, but I have been having personal and family issues to deal with; some of which I can't address on babble because of certain privacy concerns. I will explain in open, if I run into anyone in there.
I have been having a lot of bad dreams lately; mostly about my ex, but I am told that once the anniversary date passes things will start getting dramatically better. I sure hope so. I keep going through times where I just feel paralyzed and can't seem to make myself accomplish anything around the house. I have so many plans but no progress yet.
I want to re-landscape my vegetable garden and make it into a flower garden, with a fountain and paths and pretty little surprises here and there. I want to learn how to use my nailer/stapler and make cute things for my yard. I want to redecorate my house. I want to wash my mini blinds. Heck, right now I just want to CHANGE THE SHEETS ON MY BED!! Alas . . . I wish my doc could prescribe some motivation.
Oh, yeah . . . I was going to try to cheer you up, mystic . . . sorry . . . I got sidetracked. *smile*
Hey, sweetie, you have mentioned your childhood a couple times in here, but you have never really talked about it with the yo yo's. And I am not asking you to, but I was wondering if you have someone you can talk to about it? I have my sister, and she remembers the same type stuff that I do so we comfort and support each other. I hope you have someone, cuz those memories can really weigh you down if you don't have someone to share the burden with.
As for your meds, you know that I am taking lex for depression, so I really don't have first hand experience with anxiety and lex. But I do know that lex acts a lot differently in the system than say, paxil, which is what you have to compare, right? The lex is finally starting to level out for me, and this is my fifth month. What I am experiencing now is from life, not meds so much, and I am hoping that it is the same for you and we will both get through this and be stronger afterward. Every time you increase there is going to be a period of adjustment, but if this is the right med for you, you will be so glad you toughed it out because it is a steadier, more reliable relief in the end.
Gosh, I'm running on aren't I. You won't be so eager for me to come back after this (LOL). Hang in there, mystic; we are all pulling for you:~)
