> I was totally feeling alone until I stumbled into this site. It's kind of difficult to get support at home, my husband thinks I can just snap out of it, and make everything okay again. I've beeen trying to do that for 3 months and finally I had to talk to my doctor about it. I was thinking about death every day and it was really starting to get me down. Doctor prescribed Lexapro and I'm on my 4th day now. My teeth are killing me...er, I mean, they are hurting really bad. :) I'm trying the gum thing, but my teeth hurt so much that I can only chew on one side. Thank you all for contributing to this site, I'll keep coming back. Was wondering if anyone else noticed blood in their stools during the first week. Trying not to panic, but I'm starting to worry.

thank GOD for the internet... no matter what our spouses think we can discuss our meds etc with those that have been there and hopefully get answers. and it keeps us from looking like weaklings etc to our familys. my husband has no ideal what i have been thriough with the meds, or what to expect. see when i started taking zoloft he thought i was mentaLLY insane... until after a year of cold shoulder and looking at me like i was queerer than a three dollaR bill, he found out his mother and sister were both on drugs for depression then his out look was completly different towards me. shame people look at us like that. they don't think poorly of heart meds, or dieabetes meds, etc... just when it occurs with our heads. that is so wrong too. like my sdoc said she thinks mine is mainly hormonal, dead baby and the change all at once. we just have an inbalance. and i really think it is linked to malnutrition over a long period/stress too.
