Well I was feeling really good for a few days then suddenly on day 6 I started having anxiety (panic) attacks. They were just one on top of another and by the next day I was in the ER. The docs took me off the Prozac and started me on something to calm the attacks. I went like that for 10 full days. It was like a trip through HELL! I've only had panic attacks like that - that bad - during a post partum depression after my last child was born 7 years ago. That struggle lasted 4 months. Honestly after what I've been through this month I cannot believe I managed to make it through that four months alive. I must really want to be here - that's all I can say. Any way, this whole thing has got me working out on the mini tramp twice a day for 15 minutes each, drinking water - not caffine - and cutting way back on sugar. I feel so much better now, it is an amazing difference. Oh, and regular sex helps too - ha ha! I'm sure as a newly wed that's no problem for you - but us well, lets just say we weren't getting around to it as often as we should have. Stress is so hard on your body and your mind. I have wondered if I've got a generalized anxiety disorder or something - but first I'm going to go see my GYN to make sure it is not a hormonal imbalance - getting to that age...<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you are feeling some better - I hope this info is helpful.

I hope you are doing much better. It really helps when you have someone to vent to or help with some of what needs to be done. Too bad we don't live closer.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08278208542056853134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108401111767017590.post-11998603448580327802009-01-09T09:56:00.000-06:002009-01-09T09:56:00.000-06:00I hope tomorrow (today!) will be better!
