Hey, Mystic . . . I'm still around:-) It's just been so late by the time I get on the computer that no one is around, so I have been going to Babble Open. You really should try it sometime. Someone in Open said she has both MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger, and she doesn't have any problems, so I think you could add Yahoo if you want to.
Sometimes I just sit in there by myself for awhile, and then someone might drop in and we start talking, or there might already be a few people in there chatting, and they all say "hi" and make you feel welcome. The last couple nights it has been pretty lively late at night.
If you check near the bottom of P-Social, some people put a new post saying that they are in Open, then you know someone will be there.
I am doing better on the lower dose (10mg), but I am still pretty tired all day long. I have an appt with my doc on the 26th, and I plan to talk to him about possibly switching to Prozac. But, who knows . . . it might be the Lorazepam that is bothering me. Anyway, I feel a whole lot better than I did the other day.
Think about Babble Open - okay??
God bless you:~)

Hi, Trucker . . . haven't heard from you for awhile. How's it going?
It must feel weird to be "grounded", eh? How did hubby react?
I haven't been posting much lately; no energy. But I still read all the posts, and I still think about you:~)
Good luck with the SSDI.
God bless you:~)

give your bodies time to adjust. these meds build up in your system and take a little while to level out to the new you... i know sometimes its hard.. i too am on 20mg of lex and 150mg of welbutrin. the welbutrin only for a week now... i have my days.

It's helping, but I can't quite tell how effective it is since I've only been on it for a week or so. (And only recently increased to 20 mgs of Lexapro with 150 mgs of Wellbutrin.) Just remember, if it doesn't go away (but it probably will) there are always other alternatives.

one day i feel energenic the next i feel like staying in bed. the other half realized after catching me having an anxiety attack that it is a good thing that i am out.. he is one that has to be smacked in the face to make him pull his weight. his last marriage ended because he tried to make her feel like his mother.. he has this marriage roll all messed up. he is to comfort and shelter me .. i can comfort bgut not carry all the burden...esp after all the garb.... my circuits are over loaded, and i told him he keeps up and this crap will be permanent. ya know brain dead. and institutionalized. i told him keep pushing. and he will answer for it come judgement day... he has changed his tune for now. esp after catching me in a panick or anxiety attack... i have my days...

Just a quick hi to everyone. You are all great! I smile just thinking about you all.
I am doing good, still on 150mg Wellbutrin after 3 weeks, and 1mg Xanax. I'm improving a little every day. Now I just have to go back and undo the damage done by being on the wrong meds (weight gain, edema in legs from basically sleeping/vegetating all day). But it is good to have my mind back!
I lost the job that I was on sick leave from. Oh, well... When I am a little stronger, I will hit the pavement again.
I want to encourage you all to hang in there. I don't know if you remember, but it was just a very short time ago I was ready to call it quits completely. But I want you to know it is worth the fight! Don't ever give up!!!
I am really trying to break the internet habit. It doesn't exactly help in the weight loss and exercise arena. So if you don't hear from me for a while, it will just be because I successfully pried my hiney out of my computer chair. Ha! If you think that is a euphamism, then you don't know how much weight I have gained on these ADs. I really don't think I have much to contribute to all of you - but you are so great with each other. I do enjoy reading your posts still. Take care and God bless.

You don't have to say more. I understand. I am praying for you as I type.

Hold on to hope, trucker. If you get nothing else from this site, know that many, many of us have come up from the pit and are enjoying life again.
God bless you, and you will be in my prayers.

Mystic, go to the top of this screen and click "Framed". That will split the screen into two frames. Scroll all the way down on the left "frame" and you will see Psycho Babble Open at the bottom. Click on it and follow the instructions for registering once you get there.
It has been awhile since I registered, so I don't remember the details, but I think it is self explanatory. When you first enter a chat, it will probably list you as the "host" - -don't worry about that, I think it says that for everybody. It takes a bit to log you on, but eventually you will see the cursor flashing in the bottom box where you type your message. Most of the time when I go in, there is no one else there, but sometimes I wait and someone else comes in, or I go out and come back later. There are a lot of night owls, so more people in there at night.
Good luck!

somewhere between 100-130lbs.
You win, but just barely. Actually, I'm not sure either one of us won in this case. But at least you know I am in the ballpark of "feeling your pain".

Hi Mystic! How are you doing??? I am doing pretty good. Mentally, I am doing great. Not 100%, but getting there.
I actually hesitated to write how much I have gained because I didn't want to discourage anyone. I have always gained weight very easily. When you combine that with a few drugs known to make you gain weight taken over several years, along with the fact that I was either so numb or so depressed that I really didn't care to exercise, it isn't a good combination. So that is just me...don't expect that for yourself!
Have a blessed Easter!

hey guys, not feeling too good today, i seem to wake up with a headache and a stiff neck almost everyday now..:S and today is the first day since the increase where i am feeling the anxiety pretty intensly. sucks. i hope everyone else's day is better than mine! Mystic i bet its exciting waiting for the baby to arrive, is this your first grandchild? must be a new feeling.
Life can be such a gift yet sometimes such a curse..maybe somewhere in there i can find balance, thats all i think we all really want.
i tried getting in to the Ballble open but it wasnt allowing me to complete the regestration..weird i would be almost done then the screen wouldnt load then it would say, sorry we could not complete...i'll try again later cause it does sound like fun. i am usually up at insane times cause of insomnia so it would be nice to NOT spend that time alone.
Have a great evening everyone and HAPPY EASTER!!!
