Good Morning All!

It makes me sad to say that both my children have inherited my emotional issues, namely generalized anxiety (which I inherited from my dad).
I am grateful that my was able to find a med that works for her on her first shot.
Sadly, my son has not been so lucky.
I cannot tell you how many different meds he has tried at different dosages and combinations.
Nothing has worked!
He is now reaching 40 years old and my sweet and loving son is beside himself.
It impacts his ability to be the father and husband he has always been.
After almost 3 years of trying different meds and psychiatrists, he has landed on one doc that seems to be the most insightful.
After a long discussion with me and his doctor, they have decided to try Effexor.
I have had a lot of success with it (and I did try a few others, too).
The doc said that if I did well, it might work well for him, too.
I am NOT going to try to discourage him.
He is well aware of the addictive properties and the possible horrible withdrawals.
He has told me that he has had them with other meds he tried.
BTW, he also tried the CBD and other remedies.
At this point, I just want him to feel well.
He has come to the realization that he will probably need meds for anxiety for the rest of his life, like me and his older sister, so he is not going to dwell on the withdrawal affects since if the Effexor works, he will remain on them.

I wish my baby boy all the luck in the world in fighting this HORRIBLE disease that can take everything away!
