It makes me feel better to be able to share with everyone. When I was first diagnosed, I thought that I had a grip on all of this.

I too get up and have my morning cigarette lol my depression seems the worse in the morning, so all I want to do is just sit outside and feel sorry for myself for about 20 min I too lack happiness and motivation... The motivation being the big one for me.. Its amazing that u were able to ride your bike to get the things u need! That's something I could never do. Socializing sucks for me, and its upsetting because I used to love being around people! But I feel like I don't know anyone anymore, or that they are judging when they look at me. When I try to talk to them, I feel like they are thinking how dumb I am, and wandering why I'm even around... So I go to my room and just sit there, anxiously waiting for everyone to leave so I can go on with my evening. Panic disorder sounds horrible! I'm so sorry you have to go through all of that. everything is so much worse when I start to panic! I'm trying to give myself time to adjust to these meds, but its hard to! For some reason I want this instant gratification that I know I'm not gonna get that. My Pdoc says it could take up to three months to fully b in my system! That's insane! Idk, sorry I tend to start rambling on when I get excited lol thanks everyone for the support! I'll try to keep u guys updated on everything! Hope everyone is doing OK!

Great news for you... just a few more weeks and you will know if the medication is working for you or you need to increase your dose or try another medication for another one. This still is not an exact science as everybody's body chemistry is different... the Sinequan I'm taking (a trycyclic) for depression may make you suicidal while the Zoloft I was initally was put on did that to me. Called p-doc immediately and he put me on this I have been successfully for years now. You can read my DX and RX below in my signature.

Keep on posting and let us know how you are doing. Oh and yea panic disorder sucks. I had to quit playing bass for a band because I was having stage fright and panic attacks left and right before we played out just in rehearsal. I can get out and ride my bike, but socializing at a large family gatherings is hard.

Take care,
