Thanks for the reply, Bill. I do have occasional depression, but no more than most people who are dealing with chronic health issues. My problem is more just feeling more tweaked than a given situation calls for, i.e. driving in the rain, irrational fear and worry. I told my doctor that I WASN'T depressed, just nervous, but she had free sample of the new and improved Celexa (Lexapro) and I finally gave in and said okay. I do want to give it a fair chance, but I hate to be such a basket case in the mean time. I've already seen SO MANY doctors, though, so hopefully this one will be receptive to the Effexor/Buspar suggestion at my one month check-up (if I can make it until then). It just really bothers me when I called her office with concerns about my side effects and was told that it wasn't true. Still, I wasn't depressed, or sweating (how could I imagine making that one up?!), or any of the other stuff until I'd taken the Lexapro for a few days. This is just a really hard time for me, and I appreciate your quick reply and suggestion. It definitely makes things easier to bear with a positive peer network and I've never had that before.
