> Hi Another you,
> Lexapro has taken away my immense anxiety but i've been replaced with your own descriptive experience....housework takes a backseat to the fatigue. Not to mention (I truly empathize with you here) ...the children! For me a catch 22. Moms more relaxed, but mom is now slack...so to speak. So my dear, I would be very interested in your findings on battling the fatigue s/e. I think I will have to chat with my pdoc on this matter as well, I cannot truly see myself getting caught in a guilt triggered depression for being relaxed. What good would it all have been? (Lex) Good luck, Lets not give up.

Wow, it feels so alone and then along comes a woman with whom I can relate. Yes, I think Phil's advice was excellent. He seems interestingly well informed. Perhaps for you too his suggestion might be the best combination. Lexapro for me didn't relieve any of the anxiety, well not yet anyway. I refused to give up the Depakote though, so they suggested both that and Lexapro. For me the tiredness did not mean less anxiety at all, and I guess that was something I didn't expect.
Don't let yourself get caught in the guilt trap. Try to think/self-talk exceedingly positively... as if Tony Robbins were with you every step of the way! If you don't mind me asking, Prima... is this a bought of anxiety or depression or both? ...And the kids, well, they love Mommy slack or no. We just have to keep loving them and doing the best we can. Keep in touch!
