I have finally come to terms with my depression and now must team with my Doc to find the best solution for me. I started lexapro 4 days ago and so far so god. Bottom line I am very scared I will never feel like myself again. It reared its ugly head about six months ago. Have not been the same since. That one message said it well I feel like a zombie who is alive and walking around with no existence that is what Im feeling. Im tired moody all the regular symtoms I just want to be happy again. Please if you have any advice or experience you wish to share please do so. Thanks for listing

There was a wonderful series of commercials run in Canada last year about "I am depression and I have come for you"

I can understand where you're coming from. About a month and a half ago I expereinced a panic attack that sent me into a world of anxiety and depression. I too have not felt the same since. My doc started me on Lexapro 3 weeks ago. Although I feel better than I did I still have moments. I've found therapy and yoga to be helpful along with the medicine. Yoga seems to help lift the souless feeling I get sometimes. Just be gentle with yourself and stay connected to those who help.

I could of typed what you did. I started meds and therapy in April and it took until July before I felt consistently better. Stick with your and program and don't give up because it does get better.
