Ditto. I wish I knew what to do. I hate this disorder of depression/anxiety more and more every day - not so much because of what it has done to me and my life, but more because of how it rips at the lives of those I love. I do know I am not giving up on Mystic. She would never give up on us. As far as the meds go though, I wish I could be sure that 20mg was the answer. For me, I tried 20mg, then 25mg and 30mg of Lexapro to no avail. I needed to change to a completely different family of antidepressants before I started to come around again. Maybe this is Mystic's answer.
MYSTIC...If you are reading this...DO NOT GIVE UP!!! I am living proof that there is life beyond anxiety and depression. You have to keep fighting this battle out until you win. If we could do it for you, we would. But only you can do it. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for Mel and the new grandson. You have to find a way to push past those fears until you find something that works for you. And you have to be honest with the doctor. When you find the right med or dosage or combination of meds - whatever it takes - you will realize that though it wasn't easy, it was worth the fight. And keep in touch with us. (((Mystic)))
