> really need advice..obsessing over tis too!
Staycee.........Take the effexor!!It will help you!! I have been taking it for several years and I am doing great! I stopped one time, because I was feeling so much better I thought I didn't need it anymore, my husband and I are scuba divers, with out the drug I had a panic attack everytime I hit the water. I got back on it and I enjoy my diving again.....
Lexapro- my daughter takes it she is doing great!
Zoloft- they should take that "crap" off the market!! I was given that first- I spent 2 days in the bathroom sick. never again.
My wish for you is that you want a good life bad enough to take the steps to get there, courage is not something we have, it is something we do....
when you are feeling better you are going to want a long life and at that time ask for help to stop smoking. I will say a prayer for you.
good luck
RJ
