I have been on Effoxor in a.m. since June. Also take Clonazepam iat bedtime. I’m a mess. Getting to where it’s hard to leave house. My two adult boys have gone their own ways to jobs out of town and don’t call or even text( I pay their phone bill, still). They are 26 and 24. When I do see them they are quiet and sullen, say nothing is wrong, they’re living there lives. I am not invited into them. Drugs don’t seem to help, friends think I should exclude them from staying with me when they come home. What would that solve? I’m unhappy, home today from work lying in bed. I hate to say it but I just want to die.

Try getting tickets to something that they like? Find ways to spend Short periods of time together, where talking isn't really needed? (a movie) Keeping it short, tends to take pressure off. An hour (max) with mom, and 4 hours with friends...? Go out for a coffee/beer with them?
If they watch sports...maybe invite them over...for the first half or quarter? Then cut them loose for the rest of the game?
If you call...try to keep conversations short (10 minutes)...even if the conversation is going well?
