    • High Five

      From starfish July 30

      Hey, JimJim!!! How have you been??? That is too funny, I was just thinking of you not long ago.....lol!!! I'm doing OK for right now....finally got on disability and on a waiting list for a place to go....I REALLY like it. Just a couple of blocks from my dr. and they let me keep my cats. I also recenlty found a really good therapist, after all this searching...I will have the disability for at least 3 years, so have that much time to do some "deep soul cleaning". Since Isaac passed, I have felt I would not ever recover. But I have a tiny glimmer of hope now, that I may get on my feet again, just might take a while. Oh, man. You must be FRYING down there?

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Through Anxiety I developed slight depression. All started in 11/2006. I've been on Effexor XR (150mg.) for almost 6 months now, and feeling great. DS has been a huge part of my recovery. Thanks DS! I have to say, after my last doctor visit in June, I am officially not Depressed!!! After taking a simply quiz at the doctor's office...lol I am still taking 75mg Effexor XR every otherday.. I will be off likely sometime later this year!! :)

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      Started with 32.5mg and stabled now on 150mg for past 5 months. I am now taking 75mg. every two days.. slowly winging off of it!!! :)
    • Close Anxiety

      I have some anxiety issue along with depression. I think I have more anxiety and panic attack more so then depression. It's a strange feeling, but i am able to overcome it through self help and meds. Feeling waaaaaaay better now and hope to be meds free soon! :) I haven't had any anxiety and panic attack in a long time now.. knock on wood!

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      I started with 37.5mg and at highest dosage of 150mg a day, but now, I am back down to 37.5mg a day... I feel great!!!!
    • Open Panic Attacks

      Started experiencing panic attack around June 06, really didn't know what it was. But had a major melt down just before Thanksgiving. Depression, Anxiety/Panic Attack all at once. Feeling much much better with Meds and family support.

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      Started with 37.5mg and just up it to 150mg. Took about 10 days to really made me feel normal again. Been great since! :)
      Zoloft Not Working
      Made my stomach waaaay too jittery. Even at the lowest dosage. Switch to Effexor XR, working perfect!
