I also forgot to say, me also find it wonderful to have a sounding board for this medication. I'm not out of the woods yet. I get very upset and feel suicidal due to the constant anxiety. I start feeling like if I have to feel this way forever, I can't stand it. But I'm hanging in there. I take ativan when the anxiety gets too bad. I went back to work the first of March, and that is where I have a lot of anxiety. I work in a major department store, and the constant contact with other people, especially the nasty ones, sends me into anxiety. I HATE IT! I'm going to call my pdoc, to see if some of the medications mentioned here might help meThanks to you all
