Anita,

sorry I just noticed the first thread about the meds.  Lexapro really didn’t work.  I was so tired and out of it I almost lost my job.  My family saw a significant change in my personality and i appeared drugged to them.  I literally only wanted to sleep.

My very first anxiety attack was when I tried busabar when I was about 31. I slowly started noticing my anxiety before I was prescribed vibryd and lithium at 35.  I started noticing significant signs of anxiety at 38 and was given alprasalam as needed.  I do not believe the combo is making my anxiety worse, I believe it just isn’t helping at all. The other 2 drugs I’ve tried to date for anxiety are latuda and resperdone and they have brought on panic attacks.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to study my posts and give your patient insight and advice.  I meet with my therapist today and I really like her.  She thanks you for the idea of the paper summary of my meds and issues I want to work with, etc.  She has heard of this forum and I told her Anita has helped me in more ways than she will ever know. We are meeting every Friday at noon.  The one thing I took away from our appointment today is that maybe I’m not as crazy as I thought I was.  We discussed my mother, another insight you pointed out and I thank you for that.  I have to journal which I hate lol. I have some hope she can help with my self worth and self esteem.
