I didn't notice a difference. I was so depressed it seemed to overshadow everything. Now that i'm not depressed I thought I could deal with this now.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look it up online and see what it looks like. I definatly need some sort of change.

Usually they are how I have pre-anxiety before having a panic attack. Annoying at the least. I do want them to stop but don't want to be a zombie to get the desired effect.

Thanks for the suggestion. This pdoc does well when I come in organized. He listens better though he listens in general so that is good, but it goes by faster (less appointments to make the change) if I look like I've done my homework.
