> > Hi there, you have had to deal with some pretty bad things in your life. My wife is an alcoholic so I understand that watching your dad was not easy. The rest of what you talk about is rather depressing also. But you have a great wife and daughter. My 9 year old daughter has kept me going the last 7 months. If it was not for her I may not be writing this right now. But I guess to answer your question you should see the counselor. You have nothing to lose and your doing it for your wife and daughter also. Go a few times and if not comfortable see someone else. How long you been on lexapro? It has given me my life back!!!!!! Good luck with your business and dont let it get you down if it does not go well. Keep posting!!!! It helps!!!! Go see the counselor and just let it out like you did here!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!

> Thanks Wayne, I have been taking Lexapro for about 2 weeks now. Its been a little better for me so far, but that could be because she was weening me off the Effexor little by little at the same time. About the biggest complaint I have with the Lexapro is going to sound weird probably. I am sweating like a pig!!!! If I go and cut the grass in shorts and its 55 outside, I will look as wet as if I just came out of the shower! Pretty disgusting! No, I am not overweight or anything, I have never sweated like this in my life! I wonder what will happen when it hits 90! Another thing that kind of put me off when the doctor first talked to me was her asking me if I was ever molested as a child. Now my dad was not the best dad around, but all he really did is ignore me or verbally abuse us. Kind of put me on the defense a little I guess. Its hell getting old I guess and I keep trying to tell myself that is all that is going on with me. But when I really look at all the signs, I have to start to think with my head instead of my heart I guess!

Hi there the sweating could be a combination of withdrawl and side effects from the lex. I to had sweating when withdrawling and also from the lex when I first started using it. It should all go away in time. You have to give lex a fair chance also. It could take many more weeks for it to work if its going to. As far as the questions the therapist is asking. At she is trying to help instead of just sitting there and waiting for your time to go by. I hope that makes sense in a good way. I dont fear aging or have a problem with it. But then again I bought a vette a few years ago. I guess thats classic midlife crisis!!!!! Hang in there and hope all goes well. Remember this board gets slow sometimes. You can always read old posts, great info!!!!!!!
