Has anyone else out there gone through more than one relapse. It seems like this one is worse than the last. I do have more stresses on me but, I just want to get back to that point where I feel great and don't worry about things. I have been taking Paxil off an on since 2003 and in the past year I can count the number of times on one hand I have had to use Xanax. Recently though I have had to use it more and have stranges aches and pains. Does anyone else have strange aches and if so are they different each time? One time it was my throat felt like it was closing up. This time it is the joints in my hands and elbows and arms at times just ache.

once you master one symptom..my experience a new one would come from out of the blue just to make me quesion myself again. it is all the same just new to us so we end up worrying and the circle keeps going round and round.. Also we all have a fallout but no matter what happens you will never go back to the person that you used to be. If you stay strong you will be able to handle those growth spurts even better....take care..Maxamillion

I have placed myself under the care of neurologist as I just had a stroke after taking the H1N1 vaccine in November- how is that for not trusting medicines and being fearful? So I also just had been given Zoloft which induced terrible panic and depression which I have never had that bad.
But having done only a few weeks of the program I continued to think it was possible to progress- well imagine the second guessing going on in my mind when I didn't know that Zoloft actually could cause the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Each of those doctors told me that set aside the stroke that paralyzed one side- I am great and walking now- but think about the stress of the medication and the stress of finally analyzing your life is huge. They said to expect an increase in anxiety because all changes good or bad cause stress. I have been thinking the wrong way for years. We have to have patience. I had my first day of complete peace and traveled out of town and walked on the beach. Then last night I had panic attacks that are the worse I have had in a long time. We had an earthquake here in California and all of us had a lot of adrenaline for an hour or so- it may have set up the events of the panic attacks last night, or I am still having problems of withdrawal of the Zoloft. We all have to be patient and find our own way- I am not expecting to get over all of my sensitivity to things around me but maybe understand it. I have had it my whole life. So anything is a victory but it so very hard to live with this genetic flaw. At least we are trying to get better instead of just accepting this. Keep trying every minute of everyday is what I am thinking!
