HI sky and thank you for your response...you are RIGHT in assuming i haven't told my doctor that the lexpro isn't working anymore. I think i'm embarassed to bring it up because i use to be a very strong woman mentally and now i suffer from depression and anxitey and i have no one that i can talk to about it or even tell them i have it. It's like i have to keep it a dark hidden secret. My husband is the only one who knows, and you mentioned talking to someone, I wish i could, it's not that i don't have the means, i'm sure we have some good therapist here, it's that i'm afraid someone will find out i'm going. I know that sounds stupid or childish but that's how i feel. I dont' want to bring shame upon my family. I guess i thought maybe through here i could talk to someone and get it all out, i don't know what i was thinking, just looking for answers and help. Thank you for responding..i really appreciate it
