i was just wondering if i could see a reg doctor for anxiety meds when a couple or years ago i had a neurologist that gave me effexor for my anxiety and that med worked. i can see a counsler for my anxiety with no problem i just didn't really like the fact about seeing a physiatrist because in the past they would only want to dope me up im not CRAZY i just need to learn to take control of my anxiety and when i was on effexor i was able to do that and when i went off of it i was fine for a about a year but know i am to anxious and worried to even to be calm enough to take control i am sometimes afraid that nothing will help but when i wen t to a support group today i felt a lot better but i am still not completly sure and would love to hear other feedback.

Your GP can prescribe anxiety meds for you. Tell him/her about the Effexor and how it worked for you.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????
