I went off of Cymbalta while I stayed on Wellbutrin. I did lose weight, eventually I went off of Wellbutrin along with a shortterm use of Xanax to calm the "rubbery legs" feeling. I felt great being off of both meds. My memory was sharp and I lost more weight. Even went on a road trip, just to come ...

I had to put my dog to sleep a year and a half ago. He was my traveling buddy, etc. My heart broke when he got injured and then after a 5 day stay at a pet hospital, his infection became septic and it was time. This just brought up reminders of other losses, etc. This dog kept me company and safe to...

Hi, facing your fears is exactly right. I wrote about my road trip just recently out of state to visit my relatives. I was scared to leave my comfort zone on the freeway in my town. That has never been a problem for me before. But my Drs encouraged me and told me that I would find that I would start...

I have the same feelings. I'm glad you asked this as I had never felt them before until I had my panic attack or even before when I weaned myself off of Wellbutrin and Xanax. Xanax was introduced to me when I had weaned myself off of Cymbalta to Serzone, but found that Serzone was a mistake. I only ...

I think that is what is so hard in the work place. Is that there always seems to be a competitive edge to it and people are not always "nice". And some no matter what you do are not going to be pleased. That is why this program is so helpful and this forum. I haven't had to be in the work place for ...

Kudos for you! You did it! I had to do the same thing, and it was a great feeling to know that I'm okay doing some of the activities I use to do before my panic attack! Good Job!

I just want to add that my mother had strokes too. But the thing I love about what has happened to your Dad is that he reached out to you. I think that is very special. Cherish that experience and the feeling you felt. Second, right when I thought my trials were over after moving into our home we li...

I hope your mother is doing better and you too. I was constantly worrying about my DS. He is a young adult now, but Mothers always have concern for their children as well as children for their parents. But I have learned to let go more and trust that he is being watched over from Heaven and I can on...

I reread my post, and did want to clarify, that DH and I have not totally discussed our issues yet. I would rather do that with the Therapist. I don't want to be lambasted without support, that's for sure. But at least now we all can talk and be around eachother about everyday things. So that tensio...

Hi Bev, I have gone through a few things such as this that has given me much heartache. It worked out that I could leave town and visit my sister and be with her family and visit other relatives that welcomed me. It was scary to go on this trip as that last time I went on one, my youngest adult chil...
