Thanks for sharing your story.I am on Lex and I have heard that for some, there is startup anxiety that goes away eventually.
I don't know the answer, but one thing I did want to say is...please, can you not beat yourself up and want to "kick yourself" for going off of it? You meant not harm to yourself, you had a doc telling you it would be ok...I just think that with all you are going through, if you can just forgive yourself for that decision, it may help? You made the decision in good faith, with what you thought was good advisement. Now the question is, what can you do next without beating yourself up for the past. (I know that is easier said than done, because when I am depressed, I want to beat myself up for everything, including world famine, hurricanes, etc!)
Did you post say you are seeing someone different now? Maybe a pdoc instead of a GP.
