In reply to JenStar, are you OK?, posted by Deneb on October 5, 2005, at 19:08:12
hi Deneb,
you didn't hurt my feelings. I'm glad YOU'RE feeling better! :)Right now I'm kind of anxious in general. I've been trying to cut back on my Lexapro, and I'm really sad/disappointed to find my anxiety coming back. When I'm on Lexapro, I start to think it doesn't "do" anything, but now that I'm cutting back, I realize that maybe it does more than I think. And that's scary to me, because I really wish i could be anxiety-free without meds. I hate the idea of needing some kind of medical pill-crutch the rest of my life. I was kind of hoping that Lexapro was "phase" my mind was going through or something.
So anyway, I'm kind of anxious lately and slipping a bit. I guess I should go back to my old dose of Lexapro. I would like to talk to my doctor about it (although I know what she'll say) but I can't, since she quit her practice to focus on writing books. That is cool for her, but not so cool for me, as I have not yet made an appt. with a backup doctor. So I feel kind of unanchored and doctorless. I mean, it's not like we were best friends or anything. BUT - she was my doctor for many years, and knew me and my issues, and had good advice. Now I have to start over with another doctor.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
JenStar
