I am a sufferer of depression and GAD. After 20 years of suffering with undiagnosed GAD (to be fair to the medical profession, it wasn't in the DSM back then) I stumbled upon Aropax following a bout of depression. Having had the therapy I badly needed at the time, I came good and did well on Aropax for 11 years. Last year I started having difficulty with sleeping and thought I was suffering the poop out effect, so I switched to Lexapro. A few months later I realised it was causing me more problems than it was solving so my GP agreed to give me a referral to a psychiatrist - so we could work out the best medicine for me. Nearly 3 weeks on Cymbalta and I've stopped already. I've had restlessness, increased insomnia (I now recognise that there is more to that), an inability to concentrate (the opposite of the real me) and nausea. I want to converse with others who are going through the same issues with medication.

I checked this forum before I went to work this morning and it was 'business as usual'. I come home, and VOILA.....

Does anyone know why it was changed? Or was it just invision doing an upgrade?

Cheers
Junior

Same here, m'dear.

I appreciate changes may have had to be made, but I'm as adverse to change as the average luddite; I appreciate spam reduction was a necessity, but changes need to be introduced gradually.

Oh happy days, the italics work. This ~~might~~will definitely be fun.

Maureen.

We have smilies

I can handle boards changing. I've seen it before. I just would have liked some warning. That's all.

I love smilies :mellow:

I want to know why you're an 'advanced member' and I'm 'just' a guest.

Still, if I'm a guest, you'll have to be nice^(ish) to me all the time now, so there. :mellow:

Was reminded just the other day about having to sing out over the neighbourhood; husband had left for work not realizing I was hanging out washing. Found myself locked out in my jim jams with five year old in a cantankerous old shower which she couldn't get out of without help. Climbed up the plumbing to the bathroom window and sang out as clearly as I could: 'Darling, listen carefully, Daddy's locked Mummy out ...'

I dunno. Whatever it is, it may be because you're *only* 39!

Check your profile

And mine, and Cecile's.

So that's what is going on in here.
I had started the other topic about the board changing, and saw Junior ther.
I have missed out on so many posts, and all the fun since this new change,
but who cares, I am feeling so darn great the past like 6=7 days I don't care
what happens anymore!

Something so awesome happened to me, II don't know if it will help my terrible typing
but I do know what is like to feel happy again, not to feel afraid, anxious, so tired,
of it all way to GOOD!!!!!!!

Four Dont's

Don't hurry. Your going to live for ever---somewhere. IN fact, you are in eternity now;so why rush!
Don't Worry. You belong to God, and God id Love; so why fret?
Don't Condemn. As you cannot get under the other fellow's skin, you cannot possibly know what difficulities he has had to meet-Your are not perfect yourself and might be much worse in his shoes.
Don't Resent. If wrong has been done, the Great Law will surley take care of it. Rise up in consciousness and set both yourself and the delinquent free. Forgiveness is the strongest medicine.
