Thanks for the replies, lilipup and zinco. Admittedly I've been trying to go this alone for awhile, and that has NOT been an effective strategy. My wife hopes I can just be "over" my problems by being happy around me. A nice thought, but she's either not aware of or doesn't want to cope with how deep-rooted this disease is.

Good advice on meds. My regular doctor has been prescribing, instead of a psychiatrist, which I'm not as comfortable with. And yeah, my tinnitus really jumped to a very loud level after being on Celexa for a while. Went to the specialists for this and they basically told me I'd have to live with it. I have heard CBT is useful, but there is no cure.

I also may try getting a referral from Kaiser to go to a center.

Take care
