Well, I have only two years until my son is out of high school and thinking about becoming a beach bum full time by moving in with grandma in the Keys. Free rent, can't beat that. Not to mention starting life as a beach bum just shy of 36 isn't too bad either LOL.

Hi Jim,

Awww! See, you really are cool, despite what your little guy says!! "Silly", "Cool"....all the same to a 4 y.o I'd say!! Thanks for your nice posting...

Yes, I am much happier, it gets better each day with the Lexapro and, barring any sudden poundage, I think it's working!! My kids and husband say I'm much happier, seem more relaxed, so I think that's probably the most objective proof for me!

Thanks again, keep being silly, we need more of that in the world....!!

If there is any interest out there, as an Ohio "girl", I would be glad to take part in any experiment conducted near any beach (must have snorkeling) anywhere, to see if it helps the depression or not! (grin)
You are such a fun and fine bunch of people and I so much enjoy coming to this board. I do not post much as often the energy is not there, but I have to say too, that it has been soooo gooood to watch people like Wayne (blkvettes) and L'il Jimi and Luzaluna and the rest get good results from the Lexapro. Even those who have not been as fortunate have come away better informed about their options and have been supported through the SE's.
Keep up the good work.

Hi, its very hard to pass up free rent no matter where it is. The beach is the most beautiful place on earth to me. At night when it is quiet, the waves crashing on the shore. The stars are so bright!!!!! Its not to bad in the daytime either!!!!!!

You should go to the website Seacamp.org. It is a marine institute during the year, but the summertime it is a summer camp. Was a camper there for many years. Where I plan to work and have a "job" that consist of nothing but snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, etc. My dream job LOL. Just a few years away :-)

Feeling OK, thanks. Waiting for an appointment with new shrink and hoping for medication adjustment. Been on 10mg. of Lexapro for six months with good results but need more energy. All is well.

Yes, its a good beach as far as I remember. I went there as a kid and have fond memories!!!! My opinion Daytona is the best, but others will disagree. They are all pretty good beaches here. My wife works at Disney. I hope you have a safe and most of all HAPPY trip!!!!!!!!

Thanks blkvettes, I am hoping my energy picks up a little for the trip. I will have my two kids with me and we are planning alot of activities. I just upped my lex from 10mg to 15mg and seem to have more energy. For two weeks on 10mg I had alot of energy, then it went away. I hope it lasts with the 15mg. No more panic attacks though.

 

... it gets better each day with Lexapro ...

hi luziluna!

you have just come up with our new slogan for our new lexapro marketing campaign commercial!

see we shoot a series of positive testimonials from our posters about, "Why Lexapro has been Good for Me!" ... so we'll have wayne and okpolosi and we'll have to get bill l. and you and dc and ohio girl oldhand and dysfunk and handmemymidol and leeran and sussus and bridgette k. and donia and newuser20 and ayuda and brandij and shoff and valerie and egr and mkvelocity and vandy and bearded lady ... and we can interview each of us at home, see .... and then we would <special effects> converge on oldhand's in ohio and from there we would <special effects> swoop down to the beaches at wayne's and dc's and settle into our tropical lexapro palm treed paradise of sand. sunset and samba .......

all i got to do is go get forest labs to hire me as director for lexapro marketing and then ......

two weaknesses in my little dream-world:
1) i am not experienced nor qualified for the job;
2) we should doubt that lex is for everyone, but ....

At Least We Can Dream!!

Hi there, I know it is hard and glad the panic attacks have stayed away. I have had them to!!!!! I went to a wedding this past weekend and was very scared to go with 150 people there. But I did great with minor anxiety. I was proud of myself. Have you got tickets for Disney. Email if you want to hear of a great deal, like free!!!!

The energy comes and goes. If I have a really good day and accomplish alot, seems I am out of it for two days afterward. I know alot is situational. I appreciate your concern.

and That's about the nicest thing i've heard .... period.


that folks reading this board,
who are struggling,
like all of us,
against neurotransmitter dysfunction(s),
can take some comfort in their suffering from anything i might offer here,
makes my neurotransmitters
do the happy dance.

thank you, very much, for sharing that!

p.s. and whenever the energy arises, i'll eagerly await word from our oldhand.
until then we will be sending the good vibrations your way......
TAKE CARE !!!! (eh, wayne!)

I would have to be one of those that disagrees. I drove over to Daytona beach shortly after I moved here and quite honestly I was not impressed at all. I found Daytona beach to be rather "dirty" looking. My 16 year old son isn't to anxious to return there either. Oh well, that's what makes the world go round. Each of us being able to have our own opinions LOL.

It is a stress fracture. Don't know how I did it. I take Metamucil daily, even before all this medication. Maybe I need to take more? Thanks for your kind thoughts.

B complex is good for PMS symptoms like weight gain, cravings and bloating. Take it about a week before your period and maybe it will help. I find some months it does, some it doesn't.

hi dysfunk,

gotta judge whether we're getting proper (in computer terminology) 'throughput' to judge if constipation is still an issue and if you want to increase our metamucil .... or so i'd guess anyway.
in these regards i'd encourage more fresh fruit(s)....(mmmmmm, Apples...) ... and lots of water and fruit juice(s) and .... did i mention water?

stress fracture of unknown origins ....(?) .... a mystery! .... and rather poetic/symbolic ?
just exactly how Much pressure have you been 'under' lately, anyway? (grin)

well, the sympathies and concern are just the same from here .... could we qualify for any good pain medicine(s)? ... maybe? (with lots more water!)(ha!)

ms dys, i have been reading your posts (along with those some select group of our long-time posters) and besides coming to have a great appreciation for your knowledge, insights and humor, i have become, well .... fond of you, so my kind thoughts for you come to me naturally.... it is the least i can do ... because you (and others here also) have done so much for me.

i thank you,
~ jim

Hi DC, I knew you were going to get me, thats ok. Just curious for future references, which is your favorite. South beach or some other?

As for my favorite, I would have to say the Keys :-). If I had my choice that is, but got spoiled with the Keys being that my family still lives there and don't ever have to find a place to stay or pay the "tourist" prices for rooms LOL. The sunrises and sunsets there are the ultimate. But, when in Lauderdale I usually went to Pompano Beach or Fort Lauderdale beach. But, stayed away from the "strip" part of Fort Lauderdale. Usually went more down to the North and even farther North like Commercial. I am going to try and check out Cocoa Beach this weekend. I have never liked South Beach. Anyone on vacation likes it because it is "different" but I want to go to the beach to relax and South Beach really isn't about that.
