>Kev,
No, no, no, don't commit hari kari at 21. I suffered from paralyzing anxiety & depression for many many years (I'm 43 and only found treatment at 37). Buspar is a wonder drug for anxiety. I take 15mg. 2X day and could not do my job without it. Hang in there. AP's worked some for my depression. MIMI
I have yet to find someone with the same problem as me and was wondering if someone can help for the last 3-4 years i've been extremly jumpy and on edge and i'm currently on Effexor 150mg a day but i've been taking that for 2 weeks and nothing seems to have changed and I seem to lack energy. Something happened in college which triggered it off and i've been unable to relax ever since, i've not been able to hold down a job due to the public humiliation and now i've come to the end of the line (well thats the way it feels). I now can't relax when in the room with 1 person and I think to myself what is happening to me, suicide seems the easy way out but i'm fed up with missing out on life and i'm only 21.
