[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 120885, member: 3444"] I started out on Celexa, but it just didn't do enough for me. Our psychiatrist switched me to desipramine (generic for Norpramin). It's a tricyclic antidepressant. My anxiety had me going into depression a number of times, even as recently as this past fall. I have had a rare moment or two of "seeing" things in other objects (I was seeing skulls in the clouds and in patterns on the ground -- weird stuff), and in desperate moments was thinking of some pretty drastic stuff. Adjusting my dosage really nipped all that in the bud. Considering all the chaos going on right now, I feel pretty good (my friends are just shaking their heads at all the issues in my family right now). Anyway -- I'm not someone who thinks that popping a pill will solve everyone's problems, but I do know that there are times when it's appropriate to get medical support for stressful situations when you are being taxed beyond your limits. What's worked for me, may not be the best choice for you, so the best thing is to talk to your doctor in earnest about what you're feeling and all the stuff on your plate so the two of you can come up with the best plan for your situation. I also see a therapist about twice a month, and I come here a lot, sometimes just to read and know that others are out there who can relate to my life. You gotta take care of yourself first or you won't be in any shape to help anyone else! ((((Hugs!))))) [/QUOTE]
