Trucker,
Thank you for relaying the messages from Jlynne so that we may keep her in our prayers.
Jlynne,
I am so deeply sorry to hear of your loss, there is nothing I can say to make you feel better but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love and blessings,
Lexy

Thanks again everybody. Today was a little better. I am trying to cope with life without going back on a SSRI. And with the circumstances last weekend - it was a true test. LOL So far so good. Not great, but getting by.
Enough focus on me. How is everyone else? Mystic, Mrs. C., everyone???
Especially big hug to jlynne.
Simus

Simus...glad to hear that you are better ...I'm sure you still deal with the difficult situations that you are going through but to have some hope at some point is good...I guess I wasnt aware that you are taking no meds at all anymore..that must make it even more difficult..I hope that you have a great 4th of July...Take care Your friend Mystic

Hey everyone...I hope everyone is having a great 4th of July...Independence Day wouldnt that be nice if everyone had it and everyone was home from this crazy war...my prayers are with them...I'm feeling not that great as usual and missed the annual 4th of July cookout that we usually go to because of this crazyness...It is an hour from home and I just cant make the trip as it is way out of my safe zone...who knew that I would be like this again...It is a beautiful day outside and will try to make the best of it...Again will be praying for Jlynne and the struggle she is facing right now...Thanks everyone...Your friend Mystic

Dr. Bob, I think that a re-direct is unnecessary in this case. We are only expressing sympathy to our friend. It's temporary. Seems kind of silly to me, it is the social board after all. Mrs. C

Mystic,
I'm sorry if I mislead you. I am not on SSRIs, but I am still on a low dose of Wellbutrin and Xanax. I had been on SSRIs for 9 years, and I stopped taking the Lex when I started the Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin helps but somehow in a different way. I am not as numb, which can be good or bad depending on the situation. I was surprised to find myself crying at sad movies and love songs again. However... I am also more emotional during stressful situations.
Today was much, much better. Oh, I have a birthday in just over 1 hour. #43 Sigh... Where do the years go?

I certainly understand how you feel, and if I could wish it away for you, I would. But I will keep praying...

Hey Simus..no misleading here just hard to keep up with everyone on here I try but sometimes I forget...I know that I think it is lynda that is on wellbutrin now and think mag isnt on lex either...So everything is good...we are all still yo yo's....I know what you mean about sometimes feeling numb..I know when I was on the paxil I never cried 5 years and never cried..didnt really realize it until I went off it...but dont really feel that way with Lex yet..hopefully I wont and once the therapy is over I hope not to be on anything but maybe that is just kidding myself...
I'm very happy that you had a good weekend...we all wish for that..I hope that the rest of your week is great also..I pray that your problems become minimal...take care and talk to everyone soon..Mystic

Hey everyone...Its me again :( Feeling just horrible as always..well not as always I feel like i'm on this rollercoaster and it just keeps going up and down and it just wont stay in one place...This med is really putting me through the ringer....I feel like right now I'm living 1/2 a life I feel like one or two days I'm ok not great but ok ..Then I can just be sitting there and bam it hits me again...
I'm afraid to cry as i think I would never stop..I get out of bed in the morning and just scared of what the day will bring and scared if I feel good that it isnt going to last...I know that sometimes I make the mistake of having a couple of drinks in a social atmosphere and that doesnt help.. I did have a couple yesterday as we were at a couple of 4th parties but not too many but it makes the anxiety so much worse and it lasts for days..not sure if it is the alcohol or it is just it would last for days anyway...I was up all night just totally freeking out and of course cant take the xanax because afraid I will totally lose it with that also...When will it ever end?...will it ever end???
I'm beginning to think that the lex just isnt for me but with being med phobic I'm scared to death to try something else...I'm just sick of being scared of everything and not having a life...I'm just sooooo sad....I'm sorry to dump this on all of you..but had to get it out..I thank everyone for always being there and I will talk to you all later....Thanks..Your friend Mystic

Oh, Mystic, (((hug))) I am so sorry you are on a down swing again. I know exactly how you feel. I sure wish I could do something other than just "listen". It sounds like maybe another med is the answer at this point. It isn't like you didn't give Lexapro a chance. I also understand about the drug phobia. I hesitate to call it a phobia, because that implies an irrational fear of something. And we have had good reasons to have a wholesome respect for these psychiatric drugs. But you HAVE to press on to find an answer, sweetie. You have no choice. You can't live your life like this. And I do believe that there is an answer for you out there somewhere. I wish I could do more for you. If I could, I would. But we will be here with you no matter what. Please, please, during times of anxiety, just maybe break a Xanax in half or even a quarter and take just a piece. It may not do much good at that low dosage, but it will help you to work up the courage to take an effective dose. Another idea is, when you have bad anxiety, take a benedryl. It has a slight calming effect. If you take two, it could make you sleepy though. Please keep in touch.
God bless,
Simus
