AM, No offense taken, we all realize the pain in these situations and are here to help each other cope. This BBS has been a Godsend to me to just talk with other fellow suffers. Most of us love our spouses and try with all of our might to effect positive change, even though it may be slight, but most inportantly, we know that we have tried. I pray everyday that my H will understand, but after all of this time, I think that my prayers have fallen on deaf ears. But I still try, some days harder than others, some days not at all.
I have been on since Monday. I noticed a huge drop in my anxiety and frustration level on Thursday morning, which I hope continues. Even though I don't want to take these dammed pills, I feel better right now, and that was the onlt reason I took this drastic of a step. I just hate taking meds.
I also have a very supportive physican who is trying to help me cope with the physical effects of the depression. Perhaps the Paxil lowering my libido is a side effect that I need to cope. I hope that you will also feel better physically and psychologically with the medication. Keep in touch.
