I have tried Prozac, Lexapro, Wellbutrin and Zoloft but none of those seemed to work for me. I am going to try and go to a higher dose of Effexor to see if that will help. I have been in therapy for 15 years. Different therapists - none of them had an answer as to how to relieve the pain. I have probably seen a dozen different therapists over the 15 year period - desperately trying to find someone who can help me figure out the cause/root of the pain. there was a lot of childhood abuse but there is nothing that I haven't disclosed. I am pretty open about what happened. There was sexual abuse and a lot of emotional and verbal abuse - almost daily. I stayed outside a lot or in my room to try and avoid the abuse as much as possible. I had nowhere to turn for help or support. There was no one else around who knew what was going on. I was scared a lot. I often didn't know what to do because of all the chaos at home. So I would hide or go outside. I never had anyone to talk to about what was going on. I didn't get any help until I was in my mid 20's. I am 50 now. I lost a lot of my childhood. I didn't realize how bad it was. I didn't understand. No one ever explained anything to me. I never had anywhere to turn for support or help. I never had anyone to open up to. I will share anything if someone will listen but I hardly have anyone in my life willing to do that...no one wants to hear stories about people's abuse especially if I have already mentioned it to them. They don't want to hear about it anymore. I am married but have no other family to turn to for support. I just want to get better.
