Not really sure what my dx is. It started 3 years ago, after what was to me a taumatic experience. My symptoms began with nausea, dizziness and progressed into a constant state of extreme anxiety. I thought and still think that I was on the verge of a breakdown. I can't concentrate, very anxious and my heart pounds 24/7. Was put on Remeron and ativan and have been on them ever since. It has allowed me to function but I don't think I have felt any kind of happiness in 3 years, which is why I think my doc wanted me to try Lexapro. Right now I feel worse than before and I don't think I can take it much longer. I have a husband and 4 young children and I'm barely managing to cope. I was hoping that the Lex would be my answer, to make me feel "normal" and "happy" again. I'm starting to think that's never going to be possible. I'm sorry to ramble and give you my life history, but I don't know what to do right now. This board has been a big help, and I appreciate all of your advice.
Thanks,
