I actually posted my first.. um.. note on this site last nite, but in reading through the previous postings, I saw someone mention to another newbie about introducing themselves on this board. So.. here's me. :)
Me, for the most part gets a little confusing and complex, so, for the basics.. I'm currently 25 at the time of this posting. I've done a lot of travelling across the states and across the world since I turned 18. At age 20 I was told I had "anxiety troubles" and was put on Xanax 10mg 2x/day for a couple of weeks combined with flexoril for the muscle spasms that the stress had caused. When I was 22, I was having relationship issues on top of anxiety over starting classes, moving back with mom and other things, went to my general doc who gave me Prozac for about a year. This caused me to gain about 35# (which for any women out there suffering from any kind of depression -- HOW is this supposed to help?! lol) which I've still not been able to melt off to this day.
Since then I've been dealing with my mental "quirks" sans medication and things are starting to get ... weird, thanks to other events of my life. So, I thought I'd come here to maybe get some insight or suggestions if I should perhaps seek other medication, and give me a place to vent when I'm going through a 'phase'.
So, while I'm not comfortable enough yet on this board to reveal my real name(I'm sorry, I feel like a bit of a jerk for reading some of your personal thoughts and still not giving my own name), I may later feel safe enough to divulge that as well.
Thanks for reading my rambling mess. :)
