Suzi,
I'm not sure if you were asking me a question. Anyway, What I try to do is minimize the stress in my life, watch what I eat & drink (little/no alcohol). My therapist once told me, if all your friends smoke pot & drink?, then consider finding new friends. I don't want to sound like a health bug...excercise does help keep my mind occupied (at least for a little while). I hope this helps you somewhat. As far as meds are concern, I can give you a history but currently, I take 200mg of Zoloft or as I call it "labido killers." But I'd rather have no labido than to suffer with depression and panic attacks. I guess thats the trade off. Also at one time I was on 2mg of Trilafane to help me sleep at night. My other suggestion: don't bother reading about a med's side effect until you've been on them for some time. I found this helps because as soon as I checked into the side effects, the sooner I was off. Now my question to you: did you happen to read my other post "The hat feeling & ruminating thoughts"?? <they are what I'm currently struggling with. Be well and remember you are not alone!!!!
