Hi, telb! Adding my welcome to PsychCentral as well!

Just wanted to add a couple of things...

1. I've been on Zoloft and Depakote for years and years and have gone through a couple of drug tests. I told the person before I took the test that I was on anti-depressants and was told they won't show up as the tests are looking for street drugs (or something to that effect).

2. Have you ever been on Ativan or Xanax? I have MAJOR anxiety attacks that seem to focus on work to the point that I hide under my sheets and literally shake. The anti-anxiety meds have really helped me. From what I understand many of not most of the AD's don't deal with anxiety.

Much luck to you!
