Hi 2S.,

I am sorry that you are feeling so awful. It is a frustrating thing I am sure to want to be free of an Rx...but to also recognize that the alternative is not the way you want to be feeling either.

What alternatives have you tried...and did you have any success? I ask, because I went through two courses of CBT (therapy) and did a lot of self-help before I started to find the relief that I needed for my A/P issues.

If you can discuss these options with your doctor, you could perhaps come up with a plan to give them a try...with the backup plan of an Rx at a later time if needed...

...or you may decide to start on an Rx again now, with the intention of weaning after you have had enough help from it to get through therapy...at which time you can rely on the skills learned from it. 

This anxiety and depression can be managed in a number of ways. Talk with your doctor, set goals, and come up with a game plan!

Keep talking with us as well! We will keep cheering you on.;)

I have been on meds for over 20 years now b/c of my anxiety and depression. It's given me a measure of living that I could've never had without them. I made my peace with it from the beginning. No one enjoys being on meds. But sometimes you have to choose the lesser of two evils.
Like SC said, you can try CBT, which is great for those that apply it successfully.
I wish you well on your further efforts to get better. We are all works in progress! :)

PS- Kitt would totally understand your feelings, despite her current situation. She's a loving person! Just b/c someone is ill does not mean they can not empathize with others having problems. They probably do so more than most. So please don't put yourself down over it.
