I was thinking would be nice to have weekly updates by posting summarizing how they have done this week. Any new meds, achievements, learning more. How you feel. I've already posted mine I think above on how nice it is to find a doc who believes anxiety can not always be underlying depression. And no med changes. I did get out and drive myself yesterday a huge accomplishment for me and did so all day even when husband joined to run errands. Dog to vet for recheck of anal sac gland rupture which is healed. So how have others done. Some were looking for work, others switching meds. Thought any new news on a response to a new or old med would be nice. Thanks Phillipa

great idea,phillipa.Well,i found a terrific book this week,"The Anxiety Cure: An Eight-Step Program for Getting Well".It's so terrific because the authors,who are doctors,are ok w/benzos.They totally make you feel ok w/taking one everyday if needed.They've treated thousands of pts for anxiety.I also got to eat lunch w/my son at college,and that was the highlight of my week.Also, wrapping,wrapping,wrapping!!Who's next??

I was on effexor xl for 9 days. That was all I could stand. With the blurry vision and not functioning well. So I called my doc, this was a over a week or so ago. And now back on the zoloft which is working very well.
So with all the med changes over the last few months. Decreasing and trying new med. The only change that stuck was decreasing the olanzapine from 15mg to 10mg. Everything else had to stay. Maybe now I can stablize again.
