Hi Fuzzy,

Sometimes, when things are tough, it can help not seeing/looking at "the bigger picture"..........
I know things are so hard for you right now ...........but if there's anything/s you can "fine tune your vision into"/really focus on right now...........I don't know..........your relationship with your husband/making some close time with him............any little thing in your life that means something to you..............the way some music does make you feel/has made you felt...........the warmth radiating to you from here.........how lots of us on here really care about you ...........something/s, anything to help you just a little with the way you're feeling right now

And it is just the first day, right? So that doesn't need to be a bad thing.........that it's just the first day.............
From here............well medication takes time to take effect doesn't it, so perhaps with time to kick in then you could be feeling a whole lot better than right now, and that would be something great............and IF the side effects return then maybe it will help enough to compensate slightly for the effects.........
Or.........the "worst" possibility you might need to stop because of the side effects............let's try to hope that having to stop will gradually lead you to a medication that will truly help without all of that, hey??
I know a lot of "if's", I'm really sorry , but it remains that it's still a maybe that this first day could lead to something much better............and that has to be something worth holding onto........

And you know through all this, whatever happens.........we're still right here for you Fuzzy

Hey ya Fuzzy. My thoughts are with you. If you are taking other meds than those you mentioned check if one of the side effects is a rash. If so tell your doctor. These rashes can be a dangerous allergic reaction. I tried restoril with no luck. I think it's melatonin. Occasionally I use OTC melatonin which is not a blood to brain med. It works a bit better at sedation. I to have serious sleep problems. It started in late 2003. The racing thoughts did not help. I now use Xanax and Ambien CR which gives me about four hours of broken sleep with vivid dreams. There is no consistency to each day. One night OK sleep, the next horrid and sometimes it's in the middle. My thought processes vary from day to day. I lose interest in things from one minute to the next. It's actually very hard to explain. I see a therapist at the VA but probably will stop as all they do is throw textbook responses at me and think I should act like I'm 30 instead of 59. I use about 1.25 mg Xanax a day plus some Valerian to keep sedated as much as possible without getting addicted. I'd rather be down since I'm used to it. Anxiety is evil for me, it brings guilt, fear, shortness of breath, nerve pain and worse insomnia. I have no friends or support. I have a sister not to far but it's all about God and when I call her she treats me as though I'm disturbing her. She seems to disdain me for my secular attitude. Oh well my friend Fuzzy, I'm ranting. Just know I always look for your posts to give you a ...

Sending hugs.

Yes! That's what I've been waiting for dammit Growl fuzzy... Roar!

Fuzzybear, you DO NOT suck!!! Having to switch meds is what sucks. And it sucks canal water. I hope you like my small town Canadian expression.

How did it go with the prozac? I hope you don't get a rash. You are right, it is not becoming to a noble bear to have rash.

Growl all the anger away! Sending you strength!

Yes, by all means growl dear Fuzzybear!

PS: Fuzzybear certainly does not "suck".
