I've taken several. Zoloft worked the best, but like the rest of them, it made me too sleepy. I stayed on it long enough to kick my self out of the depression though. I took it more than once over the years.
I take natural remedies. I take Ativan for anxiety when I need it. And I have an amazing and positive therapist. I do cope better than I did a year ago, when Andy had his accident and we ended up losing Mickey and moving to Tennessee without Andy.
My temp to hire position ended yesterday. I should be more upset about it than I am. I am not saying it doesn't hurt me or worry me, but I am handling it much better with the tools my therapist has given me.
I have at times felt in so much emotional pain that I was unable to function. I would think I was never going to make it through the pain. But it ALWAYS got better.
