Hi Debbie i just wanted to say i know what you mean about being scared of your own shadow i was doing some cleaning yesterday and a piece of black fluff fell down near me and no kidding if you had of seen me it was like a wild animal was coming for me i screamed and jumped so high yeah its funny now but it scared the heck out of me :p and thats what im like all the time. Im not sure what meds my uncle was on but i will find out.He wasnt bipolar he was just in a depression and when the doctors changed his meds it sent him into a psychosis but yet they still released him.His wife and 4 kids are totally shattered it hasnt hit me yet im still really angry that he was released and not only that but his therapist was supposed to go to his house for a home visit and he never turned up so i really want someone to pay he should still be alive.Sorry im just so angry that this was allowed to happen. Well i hope you have a good day talk to you soon take care. Lulu..

Thanks for the birthday wish Lulu. That did kind of scare me about your Uncle, but then again my own shadow scares me these days, what med was he taking? Was he bi-polar? I took Paxil 3 years ago then switched to Zoloft because of some weight gain. I dont feel sucidial I do not think, I am a hypocondriac so I dont think they commit sucide, I was depressed before the Paxil so I am just hoping it has not had a chance to kick in yet, I caught a bad cold from my son so I feel yucky, emotionally AND physical sickness! Then I cough up mucus with a little blood and instead of thinking I coughed hard an broke a membrane in my throat I think TB, lung cancer or other horrible things, my husband says my mind is my worst enemy, he says my mind is doing this to my body, I do not understand how that can be?? I am praying to feel better, get my appetite back and live normally, there are some hours and some days when the "old Debbie" comes back and it feels so good, I just wish I knew the secret of making it last! Write back when you can. God bless, Debbie.

Debbie please go and see your doctor about the paxil making your depression worse i dont want to frighten you but my uncle who was on anti depressant meds was taken off his normal ones for what reason i havnt found out yet but his doctor put him on a new one 2 weeks ago and he attempted suicide was put in a psyc hospital then released a week later then killed himself wednesday night the meds made him worse and he went into a psychosis now he is dead.i dont want to scare you but some meds do make depression worse please go and see your doctor i want you to get better not feel worse and if it means trying a few different meds then what can it hurt.sorry if i frightened you but i wanted you to know that some meds can actually make you worse.Take care.

As I mentioned today is my birthday, I so wanted it to be at least a normal day, I woke up coughing blood-tinged mucus and that pretty much shot the whole day, my son had a cold but of course I think lung cancer or bronchitis. I have been alternating between anxiety and depresssion each day, hoping for the magic of prayer and paxil to help me recover, now this lousy virus has pushed me back! Its like insult to injury on top of the anxiety and sadness. The Paxil has been rough going with the side effects but I keep plugging away, I so wanted this day to be special especially for my son, I cannot really take any cold meds because of interaction with Paxil so I am winging it, I have a low-grade fever too. I hope one day soon I can write that the depression has lifted and the anxiety is gone, I so want to feel the joy of life again not the pain and agony, this disorder has robbed me of so much, every morning I am amazed I wake up because I feel so sick tired and sad. I am sorry I do not want to depress anyone, day by day I guess. God bless all, Debbie.
