Many of you advised me to seek a prescription for a antidepressant after My post a few days ago. The XANAX I've been taking for the last 2 weeks "didn't do didily squat." I found myself driving down the road in kind of a blue funk, and then I realized I had tears in my eyes. I wasn't really sure what I was so upset about. That was he last straw, I went straight to the nearest doc's office. (My doc was unavailable until next week.) He gave me PAXIL, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! He said it would take about two weeks for it to take a noticeable effect. I 'm on my 3rd day and I am already back to seeing the glass as "half full instead of half empty". I look forward to further gains as it begins to take full effect. Thanks everyone! The new kid on the block, David Meigs
