I just read MKB's message about Effexor. I was on Paxil for about 4 years but never really seemed to feel any better about whatever it is I feel so bad about, so I stopped taking it. Cold turkey, it was hell. I had also been going to a therapist, but when I realized that saying things out loud to someone didn't help either, I stopped going. Also, my vocabulary seemed to be more extensive and she flinched every time I used a 'bad' word. My husband is very ill. His doctor prescribed Celexa for him to help him over the effects of his meds (interferon, procrit, rebetrol) but he is, in his words, Italian and doesn't need that crap. Recently I have begun taking his Celexa. It makes me too tired to worry. I guess that is a good thing. I wonder though if medication really can help. I doubt it. What med could possibly take away the past? or change the future? or make it possible to just live each day as it comes? There is a man who works at the Wal-Mart as a greeter. When you say hello, how are you to him, he grins back and says he is alive and working - who has it better than that? He says the newly installed Santa wishes to be be him. I am in awe of his contentment. Why not me?
