Dear Susan,
Almost exactly 3 years ago, I was diagnoses as having chronic anxiety
and
depression. After several months of trying natural help, I was not
really
getting better, at least not very quickly. Though I wasn't and still
am
not, a "medication" kind of person, I felt for the sake of my children,
I
should get help from a doctor. I tried three different kinds of
medications
before I found relief from my symptoms in
Paxil. I knew being on
medication
all my life was not a plan I wanted to be on, but for the moment I felt
so
much better. I could actually make dinner for my family and do the
running
around a mother does for her family. I felt human again.
Unfortunately the
Paxil made me gain about 50 pounds, but we take the bad with the good
sometimes. I was just happy to be functional.
After 2 1/2 years, I was in a different place in my life, emotionally
and
physically, so I decided to try going off the medication. I wanted to
know
how I would do not on the medication. I figured if I could handle it
great,
but if not, I would just go back on. Fortunately for me, it wasn't too
hard. I did feel sick to my stomach for a couple of days, and a little
grumpy for a couple of days, and then I felt okay. I could still feel
the
anxiety and depression surfacing sometimes, if I had too much going on,
or
one of my teenagers helping me feel sooo good about my self as they do.
I
thought maybe it would be a good idea to try natural help again, since
it
was really the only way I would know if I could stay off the
medication. I
needed to give something else, besides medication, a fighting chance.
I started on the EMPower Plus product. It took a day or two, but then
I
started noticing I had more energy and my mind felt more clear. It's
kind
of hard for me to remember sometimes when I'm really busy, to take it 3
times a day, and sometimes even 2 times a day, but I find that after
the
second day, I notice a real difference in how I feel. In fact I've
felt a
small panic attack coming on on occasion. Then I get back to taking
the
product and I can really feel a difference in how I feel. I get so
much
more done when I'm consistant with taking the EMPower Plus. I'm also a
calmer, nicer, happier person.
I did have a problem with sleeping at night for a few weeks. I didn't
sleep
well, but with the EMPower, I had enough energy during the day for
quite a
while. Eventually though, I had to do something about the lack of
sleep. I
took
Melatonin for a couple of weeks and it took care of the sleeping
problem.
I do recommend the EMPower products. It has really made a difference
in my
life. If you are concerned about being on medications and wondered
what to
take instead, this would be the product.
Good luck. I hope things go well for you.
prescribed Lexapro, unsure about it.
