i second this.. if you had a heart condition... would you feel guilty about taking your meds for that?? same with lex... we are usually on it because as we age are hormones fluckuate... then we get what is called a chemical imbalance... and in order to make things work right we need meds.. and the right balance.. don't feel guilty.. and don't tell friends and family cause they all get weirded out over it and think we are wacked out... very untrue.. most of us gets this problem due to the change... and others because of a thing called polycystic ovarian syndrom (pcos) which is a whole body aliment. and affects hormones and putuitory glands and the whole body.. take care of your self.. BE KIND TO YOURSELF!

> No, I dont think that going back on Lex is a sign of weakness. If anything it is a sign that you are willing to do whatever it takes to make your life better. I have never had any second thoughts about taking medication to help with my "issues". If you had diabetes would you feel weak for taking medication for that? Of course not. Mental illness is exactly that...an illness and why not treat it? Thanks for all of your supportive posts. I really enjoy reading them and I hope that you are feeling better soon. Mrs. C
