I took Paxil for 9 years (40 mg) for Panic Disorder and am almost completely off of it and onto Lexapro (10mg). The reason for the change was several factors: weight gain (when I NEVER gained weight no matter how hard I tried), no sex drive on Paxil. Now that I'm almost off of Paxil and onto Lex, i'm worried about the continuing issue with my weight. Paxil was FABULOUS for my anxiety and Lex has been fine so far too (except for diarrhea), but would Wellbutrin XL be better to take b/c it doesn't report as much weight gain? I tried it once before (taking it with Paxil to help increase sex drive...it didn't do anything) but am unsure if it's good for panic since i've really only heard of it being used for depression. Any experience with this?????

I was just wondering. I plan to abstain from sex until marriage for personal reasons. I just wanted it to know if it would be possible for a relationship to last without any sexual activities involved?

I know I am not alone when I say my only child has died. It baffles me on how many parents are out there since I became involved with three different support groups. Has there been a book or words you could share that would help? It was Nov. 11th, 2003 when I learned of my 22 yr old son's tragic death. I am thankfully a Christian and that has helped me handle and overcome all kinds of crazy thoughts in my head. Just wanted someone out there to know it is OK to talk about it and ask if there was any certain thing that helped them to cope??

There is this guy thats jealous that I have a boyfriend. He wants to cut my boyfriend's throat open and he says he will. He also says he will come over to my house and no one will ever see me again and I will be missing and dead. And lately he's been calling me from different numbers so I will answer the phone. I have been hearing things and I hear knocking on the door and no one's there. People keep stealing stuff from my mom's car. I am always home alone too. I am stressing over this so much I am afraid to sleep and my stomach hurts because I am so stressed. Don't I have a right to be scared?

I've been trying to find a job for such a long time I go on job interviews but never get the job. I think I'm depressed my family hates me I have no friends. I'm 25 years old and feel as though I have wasted my life. I really need a job and everytime I don't get one I feel even worse. I have been thinking about suicide so much lately but there's a tiny part of me that really doesn't want to die but life is so hard for me. I don't know what to do.

You see, my life was never satisfying for me. I had always had emotional problems... I never had a fun childhood, now that I'm a younger adult (19 yrs old), I'm still struggling w. finding myself. I could do nothing right. Everything is always in the wrong direction for me. I don't know who to turn to or what to do. If things would never turn out amazing for me soon, I think I would just explode & have a mental breakdown.

I have tried overdosing on anxiety/anti depressant meds at 13, but never succeeded, obviously. I'm currently not on those meds anymore b.c I "showed some progress" which was about 3 yrs ago. I have ideas in mind about how to end my last day, but theres still a side of me that wants to feel some success in my life or make some kind of mark in this world before I do. In the middle of this, I think its impossible for that ever happening. No one would ever understand me. I will never have a b/f or have close bbf which I could hang out w/... =*(

It seems about every 2 months or so my GF breaks up with me. She usually has the same reasons every time. It usually breaks down to her "not loving me" anymore and she says she has felt that way for awhile each time.

When she breaks up with me its usually random and unexpected. She usually just wakes up one day and decides she doesn't love me it seems.

Our most recent (and current break up)

Last week we were purchasing our first home. We were extremely excited about it, however very stressed about if we could afford it or not. Then we had it inspected and it had a lot of mold problems so we decided not to purchase the house. We were planning on getting married in the back yard this fall aswell.
Shes had 2 miscarrages. The day before she broke up with me said said she wanted to try for a baby again because she kind of felt like she could do it this time... I asked her why she felt that way and then she got a sad look on her face and just said because it seems everyone else is pregnet.

When she breaks up with me she is very cold and unreceptive. She won't talk about things and she is just very hard headed and says she has made up her mind that she has felt this way for awhile.

Mind you this comes from the girl whom always tells me shes loves me and that I make her happy just about every day. She has awknowledge in the past that she has a problem, however we thought it was just sever PMS.

When she does this it typically only lasts up to a week and then she wants back together. However durring that time I usually beg and plead with her to talk to me and forgive me. Because I usually feel like its my fault.

She tears me apart every time she does this. We have lived together in our apartment for about 9 months. This has happened a couple times since we lived here. This is the first time she has actually moved out.. We broke up Wednesday night, she went to her mom's friday and moved out saturday. She said she felt like she was doing the right thing.

In the past when we got back together she tells me she is sorry and she never wants to talk about what happened. I'm suppose to just ignore that it ever happened..

I don't know how to take this. Each time she does this she says that she felt bad for me the time before and thats why she got back together with me. But we are happy when we are together and she isn't like this.

Maybe I should just accept that she really doesn't love me? Or should I expect history to repeat itself and this time follow through with getting her help?

Everyone is telling me to not talk to her, to not plead with her like I always do. But I'm afraid if I don't then she truely won't come back. Is it best if I don't say a word to her? Typically in the past after a few days I was able to calm her down and break her shield/hard head down enough to talk to me. But its a huge drain on me being rejected until she talks. Will she just come to me when/if shes ready?


I apologize for this post, I have not slept or eaten very well since this has happened. Any advice would be appreciated.

Has anyone ever seen their confidence improve by being on anti-depressants?

I have a lot of problems with my confidence and self esteem. I'm hoping to be put on medication soon. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist this week, and with any luck he will prescribe some.

So can anyone share stories about their own experiences?

He more than anyone makes me cry the most. We've been going out 9 months. I have panic disorder, agoraphobia, and major depression. We met on the internet. Nearly every time I see him we have sex. He is generous with taking me to concerts and out to dinner. At first this relationship was good because I was getting out and about. Now he calls me crazy constantly, seems to hurt my feelings deliberately, and is truly pushing me toward a major relapse. What should I do? How do I get rid of him?
