[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 656910, member: 1233"] I am sorry you are so stressed. In case you don't know, most newer antidepressants take around 6 weeks to give you the full effect. They don't work like xanax or other benzos that work immediately, but they are FAR safer and don't risk addiction or other legal problems. Given past issues, that may be a plus. But if you are bipolar, antidepressants are usually NOT a good idea long term as they trigger mania and mood swings. They can be a HUGE problem if you are bipolar and not really really stable on other medications. Please keep a mood diary as you take this new antidepressant. It will really help your doctor see what is going on. It is important and doesn't take a lot of time. I hope you can get the counselors' secretary job. It would be stressful at times but might be a much better fit for you. You can always look at openings in other schools also if you really hate this job. I hope the test goes went well. This is a high stress time for every school secretary, esp the attendance ones, because of the end o the year nonsense. Keep telling yourself that you can get through it just like you have every other year. [/QUOTE]
