I'm determined to avoid meds but some days I am so tempted to go the doctors....but as you say they do numb some areas which is a big worry. May be better for my children though if I don't notice everything. ;0) xxxxChic Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01803588856685163353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-54602951580639305282009-12-01T20:45:43.609-05:002009-12-01T20:45:43.609-05:00Good for you for trying to wean yourself off of it...Good for you for trying to wean yourself off of it, but also good for you for accepting the help you needed in a stressful time in your life! <br /><br />I've been thinking some Xanax is in order for me lately! :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491795869831026753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-78223469236027327832009-11-30T13:50:15.771-05:002009-11-30T13:50:15.771-05:00I wish you luck on the weaning process.

Also well done for hitting 'post'. You sounded really unsure about it, but you so did the right thing. Sort of 'Feel the fear & do it anyway'. Good for you! xxBrighton Mum-Teenage Angsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093107433174519425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-89284322078678254552009-11-30T11:50:18.042-05:002009-11-30T11:50:18.042-05:00Great, just great.

I dont want to say I was depressed, but EVERY.LITTLE.THING. would piss me off, beyond belief. Ive always had a temper, but not like that, and I had a total lack of energy to do anything. And now, Im afraid to get off these pills, cause I kinda like the nonchalant feeling I now have, no worries here. But I also fear being on them too long and then having withdrawels....whats a gal to do??Choleesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595335654681755401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-28390266757919982372009-11-30T10:46:43.938-05:002009-11-30T10:46:43.938-05:00Y'all are great!

I was crying every single day- not a way to live with a good husband and two fun kids. I weanted myself off, and I can tell you, the weaning was harder than the original symptoms. I did it faster than some, but I did OK! I never got the pinging, just SUPER jittery and anxious. Hubby was on board, and helped me through it. It was hard with the kids, but I knew in my head that these were side-effects, and I just kept at it. Been medicine free for about 6 months. I still get anxious, but I'm human. Email me if you need to chat.
