<sometime i think there really is a god.<
I believe there is.I'm glad, for your sake and for the sake of your children, that you went to see a doctor who was able to put you on some appropriate medications. Yes, the side-effects can be a problem. Sometimes it comes down to choosing the "lesser" of the two problems, i.e. thoughts about hurting your children vs. feeling dizzy. Sometimes too, the drug side-effects will lessen with time, but ALWAYS let your doctor know about the effects the drug is having on you.
I haven't really had the same experience/issues as you. I'm hoping someone else who has responds to your post. I have no doubt that SOMEONE on this board has. You may want to browse through the other threads/posts on this board. I've learned a lot that way and have ended up "meeting" other posters that way.
Keep doing what you're doing, keep talking to your doc., and, by all means, keep posting!
Best wishes,
Lynda
