mainly b/c of mood swings. i get mad really easily for no apparent reason. i also have really bad anxiety and OCD a little too. i used to be on celexa for depression, but thats all gone now. depression is the worst. i am not nervous about the wedding, but my fiance is.

Hey bridetobe..Dont you find it on the posts that there are sooo many younger people on here I wish that when I was your age and I was going through this years ago there was someone there to tell me I was going to be ok and that it was normal and everyone goes through it...I know that it is truely amazing the compassion that the girls have on this site ...Lexy is one that comes to mind she is in her 20's and she is a therapist and getting through school and she does everything that she can to help everyone out..she is way beyond her age and a true angel...I just know I would have loved the support from anyone at that age...and am really grateful that people your age are willing to help and share and get the encouragement that we older folks (even though i can keep up with the best of the 20 year olds )hahha...Just a thank you for sharing and wanting to help..You are allllll angels..Mystic

Hi !!
Mystic.. How are you? I am sure that after Tuesdays you are feeling a lot better. I am feeling OK. Much better than last Friday when I was in tears, no more tears, glad my mom is here. Packing also allows me to know my situational hell is almost over!! I am thinking of going back down to 15mg been a little foggy,irritable and lethargic...hmm probably will drop back when I move home. Hope all is well for you... when is the Grandbaby due...names/sex??
Blessed Easter

Hey girlfriend...Grandson is due May 15th and his name is Ryan Parker Morin...My last name is Parker wanted it as a first name but the father wasnt liking it so we got it as a middle and I will call him Parker anyway..hahhaha..I'm doing pretty good..you are right after tuesday I felt better but I also feel better with the meds and hope that the next cycle isnt as bad as the last...I'm happy that you are feeling better also and I really think that this change is going to help you tremendously and hopefully you have your families support which I think that you have mentioned that you do have before I think that decreasing would be a great idea if it makes you feel better there are so many things to take into consideration..but think it might be a good idea if you are comfortable with it you want to be focused for your great graduation...I pray for you lexy every night and hope that the transition is great for you and I know that you will be an absolutely wonderful terrific therapist and like I have said before thank you so much for sharing and helping so many people you are an angel well beyond your years and you deserve nothing but happiness and great success which i truely believe you will accomplish...Luvya Mystic

Hi Ya'll
Mystic.. thanks for saying such sweet stuff to me. You are soooooo wonderful! Bride, good luck on the wedding, I love NC, my boyfriend is from Asheville and it is such a wonderful town, I look foward to being from there one day. What kind of birth control are you on? I started out with mood swings from a birth control pill then it turned into deep depression, the first I had ever had in my 24 years. I got off the b/c and was like a new person, back to me, then 10 days later I had a friend die unexpectedly, I of course, started feeling sad then, got extremely anxious that I was becoming depressed again. I got over that one and then about a month later had another weird unexpected thing happen, again the freaking anxiety...started fight with my boyfriend...awful just because of the birth control pill. I went to a doctor who said the effects of the pill/patch/depo were way under estimated. Anyway...Hopefully this is gone...how long till your depression was gone?? I am so ready for all of mine to go AWAY... it is the WORST. Vomit. You sound fun... By the way.. I am a deep south girl myself, from Mississippi. Hotty Toddy, I love Ole Miss.

Hey K...
Have a great weekend. I am feeling better since Thursday. 20mg makes me a little lethargic and irritable, seems like maybe I am getting a little better in my negitive thoughts. I am thinking I am going to drop back down to 15mg when I get home in 13 days, I seem to have a little more emotion on 15mg... who knows... how goes the Wellbutrin, I am thinking about it... just sick of waiting ...ughhhh. Have a Blessed and Fantastic Easter.

Mystic,
You are such an angel, thanks for always thinking of others, what a wonderful quality. My mom got here last night. We have been shopping, packing and eating waaaay more than is healthy! I hope things are going well for you.. I think you are such a special person. I think for me some of my depression comes from being so isolated up here at school. In college I was Ms. Social Butterfly but here its like I actually go for days without talking face to face with people other than my clients. I get sooooooo lonely. My boyfriend and I talk a lot on the phone but the phone is so impersonal after 9 months!!! Oh well 13 more days..I love you all so much!!

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.

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...
