I didn't do well on the ssri's lexapro or celexa. I was on celexa a few years ago and it took a long time for the side effects to go away.

DON'T DON'T TAKE A XANAX OR ANY BENZO. Initially, you will think it is the miracle drug. Then you will find your body craves it. Then the cycle begins... Don't do it. If you feel you need to be medicated, go to an SSRI or SNRI. Don't go for a quick fix. It was the worst mistake I made. The second ti...

Thanks Never Quit. I appreciate the prayers. I appreciate the response. I am looking forward to starting the program. Honestly, I have never been one for natural remedies. But at this point, I am open to anything....I am just mad that this happened to me again. My best friend is a pharmacist. He cal...

Please: Someone tell me they have beat insomnia and anxiety without medication. I have bad reactions to everything. I feel I have nowhere else to turn....Every other night I only sleep 4 hours.

I am catholic. Wish I could just give it to God. I just have to try and get through this. It is affecting every part of my life. I took my ambien as always last night. Sometimes I sleep through the night. Sometimes I wake up and can go back to sleep. Last night, I woke up 3am and couldn't go back to...
