Well, after going through divorce over two years ago, (eight children involved), going bankrupt, buying a new house with my son (in his name because of the bankruptsy), then being downsized by my company, and then getting married and both us have no jobs and the child support keeps coming, I had a major bout with depression/ anxiety. One doctor said anxiety was the greater of the two, the other current doctor said that deppression was the greater. Long story short Lexipro didn't work, Clonopin (spelling?) helped a lot for a few months. Either more bad news or the Clonopin has run it's course in my body, I don't know but I hit bottom again a week and a half ago. Fear, shaking, crying, hopelessness, worthlessness, not knowing how to go through my day and knowing the money will run out soon if nothing happens. And ofcourse not only the fear of not finding a job but keeping one in the state I am in at this time. I have a new very compassionate doctor and I want to trust him. Just yesterday he upped the Clonopin to 1mg 3x day and put me on Effexor xr. I am looking for encouraging news about Effexor. Please only good news. Thank you so much for your help.
