I am reopening this thread because I think it is an important topic to talk about. I will not rebuild it as I don't believe that we should do that in most circumstances.
You could have really done a thread rebuild and just opened a new thread. Then you could have hidden our snit.
I took Lexapro to try to fix my anxiety. It backfired miraculously. It was so damn bad. I had night sweats, what felt like uncontrollable shakiness, and worse feelings of anxiety.
You have to be very very careful with anti-depressants.
It's no secret that of course I have an addictive personality. But nothing has ever messed me up more than prescriptions. I literally felt like a brainless retard, nothing changed in terms of the anxiety and I said fuck it. I always used to make fun of Prozac zombies when I was younger. But it's no joke. Sad thing is, bad physicians can really fuck with your world.
My wife has had multiple neck surgeries and the cocktail of meds she was on nearly killed her until she just said fuck this shit.
I got off the meds because of how bad I felt. I have felt 100 times better since. I don't know if the meds caused me to realize it wasn't that bad before or if maybe something in my head triggered a rebound. I don't know.
It's the meds, dude. Go natural. Drink a beer. Take a shot. Take some gummies. Smoke a joint. Just avoid the pharmaceuticals. That shit has done way more to ruin more people's lives than we all really know.
But, I have been so damn much better over this last week. It has been like 9 months since I started dealing with this shit. I finally feel like myself again. I do still feel the anxiety but it isn't nearly as bad.
My wife told me that I had just not been myself and she wanted me back. Guess what? I think I'm back, baby! ~crosses fingers~
That is really cool that you "got back".
I am certain you have been an incredible asshole to deal with for the past nine months and your wife is a fucking saint.
