As long as it’s not Effexor, I’ll give it a shot. Still mourning my dad, still moving, still trying to secure employment, and mom still has dementia. Right now I’m deciding to go easy on myself and family and try Lexipro. A pediatric dose has had a wonderful effect on me in the past. So at least that is comforting. But so does acupuncture. Which I will go back to. I just need to find one in my new area.

All of the changes I’ve made in my life are from the weening and I’m terrified to realize that I’m a bit bipolar. And the mania leads me to buy things and move and switch jobs and do all sorts of things that later stress me out. The Zoloft then Effexor helped me to plant roots, for which I am grateful. For my sake and for the sake of my family, I think roots should be planted again. If I was young and single, eh, I’d keep on keeping on.

I’ve had a couple suicides in my family (folks I never met) and anxiety and depression on both sides. So I come by this honestly.

I am so grateful for this site!
