mikal, join the club, and welcome; i certainly have been helped by AD's for anxiety/depression/ ocd, etc., and this board has indeed helped me feel like i am not alone, so i relate; information is good, and that's what you get here
at least as it relates to others' experiences, which incidentally are all over the map; anyway, i know exactly what you are talking about with the "power of ... willing" yourself out thing, and you're right, it doesn't work when you have a chemical deficiency you're also fighting; hope you have a good experience
> Hello community, I'm really excited that I found this site. I JUST started taking an anti-depressent drug for the first time - Lexapro. I'm hopeful that it will help with the Panic Anxiety I am experienceing. I've never been through something like this, and have tried over the last four months to believe it is a power of me willing myself out of what ever is causeing the problem... needless to say, it is madening. I feel scared right now, as this is the first time I've done something about depression. I tried medicating with Alcohol for 13 years and wound up discovering a recovery program for that. I thought it may be the cure-all. However, I'm discovering that though it has helped my life amazingly, I still have depression and now it is really coming to the front. I'm hopeful that this will work, with as little side effects as possible. I will visit these comments often to remember that I'm not alone, and not the only one going through this.
