I also thought I should be strong enought to survive without drugs. I am so grateful for wonderful doctors (the very few) who can explain that this is chemical, not just pychological.

> We can survive, can't we? <<happy tears>>Hi there, sounds like you have been on that road to hell and back way to long in your life. Thats what I call it anyway pure hell. I cant recall anything in my life that even compares. When you cant control your mind and it overtakes all your thoughts and feelings. I have suffered for 9 months and have recovered. I read everything there was to read on mental illness. I used the net for stocks and sports. Now my favorites are filled with maybe a 100 links on this crap. I still keep reading because I am not sure how this all plays out. My darkest days were because of my first 2 meds. I had allergic reactions and had to taper off everything and start over. I was crushed each time. I was like this is not fair Im doing like they told me. But then lexapro gave me my life back. No allergic reactions, but it took a good 6 weeks for it to start to work. I call it a miracle!!!!!! Im happy again!!!! I want to live!!!! No more panic, anxiety and depression. Im happy you also are having better days. I to have shed tears during the bad days and then happy tears when I was given my life back!!! TAKE CARE!!!
