Thank you..

First... yes... I exercise everyday. 7 days a week I do at least an hour of cardio and 3 days a week I do weights with a trainer as well as my cardio. Sometimes I hit the gym twice a day (can we say "desperate"). I was hoping it would help with the anxiety as well.

I take xanax.. but I take too much, then I run out.. then I'm crazy for 2 weeks until I get it refilled. Right now I have them so I can concentrate. Without the help of the xanax, I have the attention span of a carrot... and I hate that too! I've been on them for years and at one time the .5mg 3 x a day was ok.... now.. no... .5 does nothing - I've developed a tolerance.

Thank you for the article. I'll read it and bring it up with T. He REALLY wanted me to take the Effexor - but the one time I took it.. just once... I was on my BUTT! Thank goodness my x husband was with me because I actually fell asleep in the car on the way home from the Walmart - a total of 8 miles! HAHaha... I'm a chronic insomniac..... and this stuff knocked me on my butt in the middle of the day!

I'll muddle through all this stuff somehow... I just want to feel better.. that's all. I just want to wake up one morning and say "THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY".. and actually have a great day.
