well, one of the meds is something i've taken before so not *new*.
i saw the dr today, which is talked about in my earlier post about how bad these panic attacks are getting. am starting on lexapro, which i haven't had before, 10 mg a day. she said take it in the morning. klonipin, which i have had, for anxiety attacks - like when i feel one is likely going to come, or i'm especially anxious, whatever. and trazadone to take before bed. she said it's an antidepressant that helps with anxiety, and it will make me drowsy - i've not been sleeping well at all and we hope to correct that.
so here i go again, back on drugs. i hope these work for me and i don't have to try several things before finding the right one.
i was very brainless at the pharmacy. it was higher than i'd expected (i got lexapro samples, but not for the other 2). i wrote a check for $39.55, even though i could have given her $30 cash and written a smaller check...especially considering DH has to run to the bank tomorrow to deposit money to cover the check i just wrote...not very bright! we are closing that account anyway, and i have bounce protection (meaning they cover the check), but it still costs $23 if the check beats DH to the bank. it probably won't knowing that store, likely it'll be 2 days. GGRRRR i could have avoided this if i had a brain!
well DS is hungry so i'm off to find food.

Hey leslie,
well im glad you got to see the doctor and got the right pills..dnt worry bout the cheque at least the Dr saw u thats the main thing. You said you havent seen a counsellor since you lost your baby, at the moment Im really trying hard to make a sense of me again but can i offer a book which im currently reading..it's soo good. Im not a very religious person but reading this has helped with my depression at least-takin baby steps is a huge leap.
Anyways it's called, The book of Secrets and its by Deepak Chopra. It has like a buddhist view well hinduism mostly but it is beautiful. it makes u realise we are the way we are because this is what we're taught by parents, teachers etc. We turn hurt in to anger/depression because we dont deal with it. To get out of this pattern we have to be self aware and let go of the past etc..it gives u practical excercises too. Its really worth it because im not a spiritual person but after reading this my heart is starting to feel content..and i think we're on the road to transformation.
It might help u leslie with what ure going through, especially after you said u feel like your life is car/train wreck..i think it might begin to help you. let me know if uve read it or reading it. But i do hope you start feeling better..and the meds help.
Take care,
Love sami
