> Where have I been? Why? Unlike those who have resonded to me on this board with their kindness and concern regarding my issues and to whom I feel totally indebted and grateful, you are just a salesperson. I see you no differently than the person who recently sold me a car. When pharmaceutical companies begin to take an interest in people like me who's lives have been devastated by panic disorder and agoraphobia as opposed to depression - then I'll listen. I'm still getting the message that I need to do more CBT, that maybe if I listen to Claire Weeks tapes a few more times I'll finally get it, that if I try harder and work harder that I'll free myself from this "self-imposed" misery. When the pharm. co's and medical profession begin to put this disorder on the same level of urgency as it does those who suffer from depression - then you'll have my attention. The ONLY drugs that have ever helped me were the good old fashioned MAOI's and xanax. When you come up with a drug that reduces my symptoms to a manageable level (without worsening them as do ALL the SSRI's)with tolerable side effects and no drug dependence let me know. Not only do I have a "mental illness", I seem to have one that's "second class" and still terribly misunderstood and mistreated.
> So please don't ask where I am or say you miss me. You're attempt to garner new consumers for your product is very thinly veiled.** you know....you asked me about Lexapro and agoraphobia and panic disorder about 2 weeks ago...I was just getting back to you. But nevermind, if all you want to do is throw a tirade at a simple "where you been," since I did see you posting before...sorry for disturbing your peace. (And I do care...so I wont be posting you anymore)
