> So you have had a remission from Lexepro?
> Thats great!~~~ Hi Kaye, thank you for your nice words. They are appreciated. Yes, I have been in remission for 2 1/2 years.
>
> I'm assuming depression was your diagnosis?~~~ Well, I denied depression for quite a while and was convinced various anxiety disorders (GAD, panic, agoraphobia... basically garden variety fear of and ruminations about EVERYTHING) were my only problem - I was wrong.
> How many drugs did you have to go through before you got to the one that works for you and how long have you been on it?
~~~ About seven, as well as I can recall. Prior to going on Lexapro, I was monotherapy on Klonopin for three years. Worked great for anxiety control but treating anxiety did not treat the HUGE quality of life issues I was still struggling with.
