Anyone had an success on this? I'm seriously thinking of changing from the Prozac the doc has
given me again - and changing it to Effexor for my anxiety...... Any ideas??

worth a look at least....hang in there babe. Recognising the problem and
wanting to address it is half the battle won already

) It's just getting the "courage" to admit I need help. It always makes me feel like such a
failure.

Would you feel such a failure if your car wasn't running right and
needed a trip to the garage?

No different.

If it's not right, get it sorted. There's too much world and fun out
there to be spending time not feeling right. I had problems there too
and I'm quite happy to tell people about it now, because the end
justifies the means.

No I wouldn't feel a failure if there was something wrong with the car. But it's because I'm
with me all the time, it always feels like it's my fault. I'm thinking horrible thoughs (mainly
about being a room with it raining and thundering outside) - not scary to other people, but
makes me sick to the pit of my stomach. This is where the doc said it could be "Pure O" because
I keep thinking about it all day every day. But it's me that's thinking about it, and I've
dealt with it on my own up to now. I'm a perfectionist - and this is beyond me being
perfect......... When I write it down it seems so trivial, but feels horrible.

I've made another appointment to see the doc on Tuesday and I'm going to discuss a change of
meds. I've only been on the Prozac for a week - but I can't deal with the axiety that comes
with it (happened to me before, but I persevered.......) I don't just want to put up with it
now, I want to deal with it and get over it.

I know first hand how good it is to get over it, done it twice, but each crash feels like the
one that I'm going to be stuck with (

whoa!!!!!! stop......... if you broke a leg, would you get it treated???
there is NO difference between a broken leg and SAD's...... it's a medical
condition that needs treatment and asking for that treatment is your
responsibility as well as your RIGHT!

the meds you are considering are both in the same class.... SSRI's but for
some reason each SSRI works a bit differently on each person....... a switch
may well be exactly what you need!

i use the light for SAD and find that it makes a world of difference..... i
also ordered the wake up light alarm clock....... it has a light that slowly
gets brighter and brighter until it's time for the alarm to go offf......
and that has made a world of difference for me too..... i'm now awake before
the buzzing alarm goes off!!!

do a google search for SAD lights and see what is available in your region

and good luck with the med change!
