Yep, just about 7.5mg and take just a little xanax. I have been up to 10 on the lex and back down and under the 7.5 and back. I keep trying to find the perfect dose. I think what I need is to just leave it at one dose and just be patient. Attack all my fears and all the anxiety will pass. I have refused to give in on this illness. My last hurdle is the 1 hour drive to the beach by myself. Everything is not perfect, I have family problems still with my wife drinking. Dont know what I will do about that. It bothers me very much and I am surprised I have gotten this far with her passed out time to time. I guess I will deal with her last. Just cant keep watching her do this night after night. Many nights I need her and she is a vegetable. I know this holds me back a lot. Its enough to make anyone in the best of health to become depressed!!!!!! But I will keep up the fight for me and my daughter. GOD BLESS!!!!!
