My meds are helping me so much that I am actually going to TEACH a Microsoft Excel class. It will be for any employee in my company (made up mostly of skilled nurses) who wants to learn it.
Even though I still get the "butterflies in stomach effect" just thinking about it, I am determined that I will do it well.
My self-confidence is at least triple what it was just one year ago, and my self-consciousness is diminishing as my confidence grows.
I just had to share this because it is simply amazing for me!!!

Congratulations Colleen. Hopefully the same will happen for me one day. Did you have side effects and how did you doc arrive at this combo? Love Phillipa

I'm really happy for you. About 7 years ago, I went from very severe panic disorder to "normal" in a short period of time with Paxil. The next three years were the most exciting, depression-free years of my life and I was thankful every day to get a perspective on how depression/anxiety had been a life-long affiction and what an incredible blessing it is not to be affected.
Sounds like you are doing things that you just couldn't ( and I do mean, "couldn't") have done before now! What a great time in life-thanks for sharing!

I have been taking the doxepin since very early in my treatment. The other meds were added as treatment progressed and I got most of the info on them HERE! I still have my "times" especially during PMS week, when I feel that I'm failing, but I rebound nicely after that.
I also got out of a failing marriage and that may be a big factor.
Wishing you the best,
Colleen

Colleen the marriage definitely effected it. I was married to the father of my kids for 21yrs. And the day I took the ring off it felt like a ton of bricks had been lifted of my shoulders. Been married for short periods a few times since with an attitude if it doesn't work I'll get a divorce Not I'm married again for l0 yrs and depressed makes you wonder? Love Phillipa
