I began a bio-identical hormone and then stopped because I was crying all the time. Now, I have obtained an almost six month old maltese and having a lot of anxiety -- a lot. Every day I think I can't handle it anymore. I do want to be able to handle this new situation. The puppy is in his stage of being defiant and I feel awful. I feel like I'm not doing anything right. I watch the dog whisperer and have implemented a lot of what he says to do, but still having a lot of anxiety. My husband and I have just got to session 11 and I'm thinking about maybe taking Zoloft for the very first time in my life. I have dealt with very severe problems in my childhood and have never thought about drugs until now. I've been to a psychologist for over 11 years and not until now have I even thought about it. I was just wondering on your thoughts

I took Prozac for many, many years.When my anxiety got really bad my doctor referred me to a psychiatrist. After trying a couple of other prescriptions I ended up taking Celexa and I am feeling so much better. I think it's a combination of therapy, the program and the medication. I hope this helps with your decision. Good luck!

I know it is so hard. I too have days where I feel like I just can not go on. Our lives are full of different emotions and we just have to find what works. I am just starting myself but I know that we can beat this fear, this overwhelming sense of dispair. I took meds for a little while but felt no relief from them. They made me feel worse, so I came off of them altogether. Now I am trying everything from self-help programs, relaxation breathing, music, crafts, and just time to learn about myself. We all need to know what makes us tick. I think that this program is a great start for us to be on our way of self discovery and healing. God Bless you and I am pulling for you and so many others like you and me.
