> I am new to this whole thing and my husband doesn't want me on any drugs. I have been on this for a month and am starting to feel better but have no support to help me out. I am hoping to find some here!
I started on Effexor just yesterday but I had been on Lexapro for about 4 months previous (serious weight gain caused a change). Anyway, my husband fought me tooth and nail before I just stopped listening to him and went to the doctor anyway. My depression/anxiety wasn't severe but it was causing me internal misery and I was being pretty distant/mean to my family. Steve thought that I should be able to handle it by myself since it was "all in my head"....according to him. Once I went against him and actually got help he was very pleased with the results and happy that I chose to listen to my body and not him. Give your husband time to come around. Once he sees the change in you he should just be thankful that you have a mind of your own and can use it! Feel free to email me anytime if you just want to vent or unload...I'm a great listener. crihawk@hotmail.com
