i was on effexxor for 3 years and did great on it.. then.. i wanted to try for a baby so my doc started to wean me off... first lowered it for about 3 months.. then made it 37.5mg every other day for about another 4-5 months... I was too anxious though seeing i was doing great i asked to be removed....

dear all... it has been way too long since i cooked a decent meal .. i was too depressed and anxious to even think of food shopping or eating anything decent.

I have severe PMDD..anxiety and depression and have been put on heavy medications for anxiety because of it.. recently they will be changing it as it's not doing the trick.. I'm nervous about that.. scarriest part for me is that its been so long that I felt this way . I don't know who i am anymore.....

Dear All, I severely need patience. I take the medication as prescribed but feel severe numbness in my frontal lobes as well as a heavy pain on my chest.

(i'm still married) Ultimately, I...

I often think I should just go buy a house or move out of this apartment and another part of me thinks I should wait until I'm recovered or at l...

Boy, did I not like session 2! But session 3 is more positive and soothing and has actually given me better tools to work with. I still think that even though it's expected to move on a weekly basis .. I think I will find myself going back to session 3 often after the program is completed. I do need...

I have been feeling very distant from many people that are near and dear to my life. I want to be around them but haven't been able to feel the full love and support that they give.. in short I feel numb... Anyone else feel the same? After week 2 I've been feeling a bit more anxiety... I'm being hop...
