Boy am I ticked off. This is the second time I am writing this reply. Somehow I lost the first draft. Thank you Diane P. for your comments. I am back on the prozac following the inappropriate doctor issue and it is helping. I am resisting the xanex as long as possible because it shuts down my brain and makes me sleepy.
My depression lasted about 6 years. It took that long to figure out what medications would relieve my symptoms. Finally settling on 20 mg of prozac and .25 mg of xanes as needed. I was a little loopy for some of those years. But, it helped with the symptoms. I had been in bed all the time. I had trouble going out of the house. I didn't cope with decision making. I was not the take charge, organized old me.
My philosophy has been through this issue and all others. That there is light at the end of the tunnel of any issue that comes my way. I raised my 4 children the same way. If one way to solve a problem doesn't work try another way. Never give up (Warrior Attitude).
I find sharing my story and feelings and dealings that I have with this forum makes me feel supported by others and I hope by sharing my challenges I can be an example to others. We need to encourage each other and don't ever be embarressed about your challenges. They are learning experiences for others.
