hey i am doing alright on my increase, still waiting for it to start working but i think it is starting cause im starting to get the same side effects as last time, if this doesnt work then i guess i have to up to 20mg...sigh, what can we do.
how are you feeling today mystic, are things still staying the same for you?
dont be afraid to increase, if it will help you then its the best thing you can do.hugs and prayers

> off to the drs this morning..
How did it go today???
> I know that she is going to push for me to take the xanax when I need it but still too afraid to take the xanax although i have taken it before I just am not sure when it would help and when to take it..
I was afraid of the Xanax too at first. But then I realized that it could take me from a panic attack to "normal" in less than 1/2 hour, and it became a friend. I still respect it and I don't abuse it, but I am not afraid of it anymore.
Let us know how your day went.
God bless.

Hey yoyo's my day went ok..Went to the drs and she wanted me to go up to 20mgs but kindof settled on 17.5 which not sure of either...Still feeling very out of it...discouraged...But went to arobics this morning and spent the day with Ryan and Melissa yesterday which is always always good..!!!...Today going to do some stuff around the house..was waiting to increase to see if this was part of the normal pms...trying to distiguish between what would regulary put you off and what is put off because your not getting better...If that makes sense...I hope that everyone is doing good..I have never seen this post be so quiet usually on the weekends it slows down...but me worried about everyone..We havent heard from some in a while...But Mag glad that you are doing a little better but another increase might be the ticket...Simus luvya and always grateful for you input..You have been a little quiet also I have noticed are you ok???..you would let us know if you needed us??..right???..well have a great day will check in later...your friend Mystic

Yes, and I am OK. You need to not worry so much about us and just take care of yourself. And don't give up hope. Even if the increase wasn't the answer, there are other meds to try. So just hang in there. You don't lose this battle unless you simply give up. Keep us posted. Gee, I wish I could wrap my arms around you and give you a hug...

Mystic!!!
Don't talk that way about yourself! You are just going through a hard time. You have a reason to have a good, healthy respect (I like that word better than the word "fear") for meds after everything you have been through. Maybe a counselor could help you with this (?). Just keep posting and let us know how you are doing. I am still praying for you, yo sista.
God bless.

Simus, I am terrible right now. I just got an email from Mystic. We talk just about everyday on our personal emails. She is saying that she does not want to talk to any of us for awhile. She feels like she is bringing everyone down. I am really scared for her right now and want so much to fly to her and do an intervention!! She needs to increase her dosage to 20 but she is so afraid of doing it. So instead she is planning to cut herself off from all of us and try to get herself together. What do you think we should do? Let her go? I don't know. I feel really close to her and look forward to talking to her everyday. I am going to miss my friend so much, I want to cry. I want to cry for her too because she is so sad. Mrs. C

Ditto. I wish I knew what to do. I hate this disorder of depression/anxiety more and more every day - not so much because of what it has done to me and my life, but more because of how it rips at the lives of those I love. I do know I am not giving up on Mystic. She would never give up on us. As far as the meds go though, I wish I could be sure that 20mg was the answer. For me, I tried 20mg, then 25mg and 30mg of Lexapro to no avail. I needed to change to a completely different family of antidepressants before I started to come around again. Maybe this is Mystic's answer.
MYSTIC...If you are reading this...DO NOT GIVE UP!!! I am living proof that there is life beyond anxiety and depression. You have to keep fighting this battle out until you win. If we could do it for you, we would. But only you can do it. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for Mel and the new grandson. You have to find a way to push past those fears until you find something that works for you. And you have to be honest with the doctor. When you find the right med or dosage or combination of meds - whatever it takes - you will realize that though it wasn't easy, it was worth the fight. And keep in touch with us. (((Mystic)))

Hi Simus, it's very comforting to hear from you. I am here sitting by the phone hoping that she will call. I gave her my phone number with my last email.
What med are you on? Mrs. C

Hi Simus, I heard from Mystic this morning and she is okay. Just thought you'd like to know. I will ask her if it's okay if I keep all of you posted on her.
When you have time I would love to know about your natural remedies. Thanks for everything last night. Mrs. C

Mystic my friend, please don't shut us out like that we need you just as much as you need us. Even when your not feeling good yourself, you always have a positive word of advice for all of us. We need you Mystic.
I know what your going through is not easy, and God knows we have all been through it or are still going through it from time to time. I know what you feel like because I am afraid of the meds too but there has to come a time when you say I am sick of feeling this way and try to just take the meds and feel better. I would really advise that you try the xanax if that is what your doctor prescribed. The xanax is what helped me get through the fear of taking the Lexapro. The xanax is a life saver for me...it has helped me when I was having the worst attack and it has helped me thorough the Lexapro.
Whatever you decide to do Mystic please know that you don't bring us down and this is why we are all here. We love ya girl - please keep posting.
Your friend,
anxious babe
