I am going to the doctors on Friday and I plan on asking my doctor to give me something for anxiety. I wanna try it out and see just how different life could be for me on something and if it could really help or not. I don't want like a drug i'm gonna have to take everyday. I want something i can just take on a "need" bases. So what do you think for your anxiety? Does it help? what are the side effects? and did you make you gain weight? that is another thing, I just lost 100lbs and I've read some meds like this make you GAIN weight. I do not want something that is gonna cause me to gain any weight.

Well, I'm late because I got a temp job last week and the coming week, but I hope he gave you some Wellbutrin. That's great stuff, doesn't make you feel weird, you just feel normal and it's great. You won't overeat, you'll quit smoking if you're a smoker, and life will be beautiful.

She gave me xanax the 0.25mg so its a very low dose... but i took one today and it didn't do anything. i think i'm gonna have to take two at a time. but we will seee.. it's not something i'm gonna be taking every day. next month she wants to try me on "buspar" but i don't know. i heard its really hard to sleep on it and i want my sleep.. but she said she was only giving me xanax to make me happy this time so if i don't take that i'm not sure what else she might try.

You may not think it's working when it is. That's the way with Wellbutrin, you don't think it's working until someone comments on how positive you've become and how much better you're doing your job. I like things that make people normal without making them high or taking them down into the depths of misery. Try asking her about it or its generic equivalent next time. I think you'll notice a big difference in your anxiety episodes and also a positive change in your enjoyment of life.

I read today in beliefnet.com : When you're depressed, you may discover that the shadows and tempests of that depression alter the way you look at God and the way you believe God looks at you. When you pray, you may be unable to sit still or to keep your mind focused for more than a few moments.
