Medications

What do you think about anti depressants and or anti-anxiety meds?

I have taken them in the past, and I have read up on them since then, I am terrified to take them. My non-LDS Dr. suggested I simply take a 4 oz. glass of red wine each night. She says this will help with the anxiety and stress. It will also help with sleepless nights.

So which’s worse? The meds that may cause; Headaches, dizziness, heart palpitations, liver failure, pain in the extremities, shortness of breath, lack of sexual drive, and unexpected murderous rage if stopped abruptly.

Hmmmm......

What are the side effects of 4 oz of Red wine each day?

(I am obviously playing devils advocate here, I have not purchased the red wine.... yet ;)

Thanks ladies

I appreciate the 'pick-me-up'

I really really do.

Why are we racked with such guilt? Why do I feel so guilty for letting my kids go for a while? Its n ot like its forever!

I cant take the meds cuase I spent 3 years addicted, and it took me DANG hard work to gte off, but when I did get off I was SO MUCH happier. I am trying to do those things that made me happy then again. (But moving back to Alaska is not an option)

I am doing ttapp
I am cleaning out my house
I am taking time for me

But what I really want to do is;
Binge on sugar!
It has been 4 years since I have consumed sugar, you would think that I would have a handle on this addiction by now.
Nope it still has me!
