Thanks for your replys everyone. It is REALLY comforting to know that you guys have been there before ColonalSpecial and SabrinaFair, and comforting to know that you made it through and are better today. |I am definetely going to continue with the therapy as I am a firm believer in the benefits of therapy.
PC and gucc-thanks for your thoughts- just to clarify I went into my doctor and ASKED for an anti-depressant. He didnt simply hand it over to me. He asked many questions about my symptoms,reviewed all my tests, discussed my therapist and my need to continue therapy, reviewed my family history of anxiety and then finally dicussed the possibility of anti-depressants that I was requesting which he also felt were in need.
I have no desire to go on a highly addictive anxiety pill such as adavant, or xanax which from my understanding are more for treating those actual full blown panic attack moments. I am looking for something to stabalize me, that is a little more long term. I dont want to or plan on being on anti-depressants for the rest of my life... its just whats going on in my head and my body right now is WELL beyond anything that I can control. Basically...I am freakin losing it- and it sucks
