Butcher...I have been on Lexapro for about 6 weeks this time and have been on it in the past as well. I'm on 10 mg. once a day. I would suggest taking it in the evening as it helps with my sleep and don't be surprised if you have a more anxious feeling and dry mouth for the first few weeks that you ...

Medical mom, I can so relate to your situation. 13 years ago our third daughter was born premature and very ill. She had surgery before she was a day old. And then at 9 months of age she died of heart failure due to an undiagnosed heart defect. That began my first anxious episode. Since then wheneve...

We can break the cycle if we work the program....and we'll in turn teach our children better ways to cope. We can do this!

After a day of worrying we find out the date hbeen postponed. What a waste of a nights sleep! I really learned a lesson :p

We just received a phone call that my husband, my 9 yr old son and I have to go to court on Monday regarding an incident where my son was bit in the face by a dog.

I'm sure there could be some depression from the near constant anxiety I was feeling but I'm not sure that's...

Glad you are feeling more encouraged...this anxiety struggle is a long road but we can make our way out of it. I've been having a few bad days lately...drs upped my meds and the side effects make me more anxious...go figure! I've also started seeing a therapist and we are working on the self talk an...

I actually didn't catch it too early and am now kind of a mess. Trying some meds and seeing a therapist along with the program. Having a bad day today but don't know if its my fibro or just the anxiety. Stinks whatever it is. Had a good few days but haven't been able to eat for awhile so I think I'm...

I'm back in for a second time around, too. It's been 9 years for me. But it worked the first time around and it will work the second time around. Maybe we need to start a second timers group to keep everyone accountable!? I'm thinking it shouldn't take us as long this time around either. Best to you...
