Hi there

My name is Renee and I am starting the program for the second time. I went through it 6 years ago and it helped me tremendously. Since then I have been on prozac and lexapro, both of which stopped working after a few years, I am tapering off the lexapro now and will be starting effexor in 20 days. I am starting to wonder if I even need the medication. It would be so wonderfull to be able to deal with my anxiety and panic without the pills. I hate pills and the side effects that come with them.
So far I feel pretty good. My concentration isnt the best, but I can deal with that...lol. No body symptoms other than this annoying twitching eyelid and a little spaciness.
I am glad to be here around people who truly understand and will not judge me.

Good Morning Reen,

Well I'am happy that you are reaching out again and ready to get focused on inner peace......something I'm establishing. Its amazing when you relisten to the program there are many tools that we often didn't hear the first time around. As you know it worked for you before and watch how much more empowered you will be the second time around.....reinforced! You can do it!

Have a blessed day

Hi renee, Iam glad to hear you used the program before and it worked. I am new and on week number three. I don't like pills either. I just started Zoloft but hope it will treat the sumptoms and after the program will be able to wean off. My doctor agrees. Need to do the work to solve lifelong habits of stress and anxiety and then won't need the meds. Good luck with you efforts.

I think that if you believe that you can get off of meds than you will be able to. I know that I didn't think I could stop drinking caffeine I couldn't. The one day I got up and said no more for me. I didnt get a caffeine head ache or anything. I am glad that the program helped you before and it will again. This time know it will work 100% and it will help 100%. Keep incouraged! Have a blessed day!

Hi Rene,
I'm Pete I started the prog yesterday, but I am frustrated because I type slowly, I don't know how to use this peersupport site, and I just can't sit here for hours at the computer accomplishing nothing.
I did enjoy what I've done so far with the prog. I think it is great that you have had a positive experience in the past and that should give great comfort to you to move along now.
Pete
