Hi Lance,
Glad you found the forum. It is a great place with lots of good advice.
I am still amazed that when I think I am the only one that has certain problems,that there are so many that have been through it.
Are you tapering off the med to start another one?

Thanks Elegy and ShynSassy and Elisha for your responses.  Sometimes I feel so alone with all of this.  I feel I need to keep my depression and anxiety a secret form work and other places(appropriate) and divulge it to only a safe few. 

I'd very much like to develop some rapport and relationship with ones here who understand.  Forum postings are not my favorite...I will be looking for chatroom sessions whenever we have them or chats on my yahoo IM.

A bit about me...I am from Colorado (Northern California originally).  I'm still lying and saying I am in my 40's!  I have a full  time job.  I struggle to keep my performance up at the best job I've ever had.  It's awesome!

I like to golf, take weekend drives, hike in the Rockies, and I spend a lot of time hanging with friends of Bill & Lois'.  If you are from Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico or Utah a Saturday lunch would be great.

The meds I am on now are: Lorazepam, Wellbutrin, and Buspirone.  I am coming off the Buspar this week in order to begin a new drug patch called Ensam.  I am very concerned that my anxiety will worsen....but I can't take the 2 together.  I am also using Provigil to see if it will help with mental clarity and with fatigue.

Any input about coming off Buspar would be appreciated. Yes.....I AM anxious about it! arggg

I really hope you all are hanging in there today the very best you can.  I know it is One Day At A Time...I've been living that way for a long time now.  If ya ever need a friend in Colorado, I'm available.

HUGS!!! Lance from colorful Colorado!
