Leda,

I can relate to what you are going through. I am very quiet and shy but I do open up after awhile when I am comfortable where I work. I worked in a company for almost 16 years and got to the point that I wasn't afraid to speak up and made some wonderful friends. Our company was sold and we ...

I was wondering if those that have or are taking Lexapro what kind of side effects did you have when your dose was increased.

My Dr. started me on 5 mg and she increased me to 10 mg on Friday. I started the 10 mg on Friday night and I am feeling horrible. Not as bad as when I first started the ...

Thanks. I know it has been tough with a lot of companies cutting back and either letting people go or not hiring people.

I have been very lucky.

I just gave my notice today and my boss just looked at me and said "OK". I was very nervous and anxious about telling her. I really don't like her so it ...

It went very well. We spoke about my start date and salary, etc. Since I went through a recruiter, I will have to wait for Monday for the official offer. I have plans to go to their yearly company meeting in Atlanta on my first day (2 weeks). I am nervous about going to Atlanta with people I don't ...

I have my third interview with the company tomorrow. I am so excited. They were calling my references today.

I am keeping my fingers crossed. I am very nervous but I am also excited. I need to take my deep breaths and relax and I will get through this just fine.

I have been on lexapro and klonopin for almost 3 weeks now. The first week was a killer for me. I was exhausted and at times it made me a little jittery (the first weekend anyway). I am finding now that it is making me a lot calmer. I take the klonopin when needed - usually 1/2 tablet in the morning ...

I lived in FL for over 23 years and moved to NC about 3 years ago. I noticed that since I moved to NC my anxiety seems to get worse whenever there is a weather change, whether it is a cold front or just rain.

I know when there is any kind of change, my muscles ache and my sinus problems kick in ...

I just wanted everyone to know that I have a second interview tomorrow afternoon. I am very excited about it. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I am really trying to be positive. It doesn't always happen. I do realize that everything happens for a reason but sometimes when you are going through you don't think about it.

If I don't get it I probably will have a moment (I will give myself a couple minutes) and then tell myself to calm down ...

Thanks!!!!!

I know this job would be the best thing for me. It would really take me out of my comfort zone but this is what I need. I hope it is good news but if not, then another opportunity will arise.

Thanks for making me feel a lot better.
