Re: Time to get off Lexapro?

[Guest guest]

Hi ..

Oh I am Reading all kinds of things. like 4 boioks at once. I am Reading

and ( author??)) , My side of the mountain, Lost, and a book

by Rd Laing, and one about natural remedies for panic attacks. I am a

real book freak . so I will read anything but prefer sociology or

philosophy.

jewelry.. hand beaded stuff. usually sell in yard sales and some online

...on craig's list ( sight unseen) I am delivering a sale today at therapy

( waiting room order) been doing custom stuff and the orders come from

nowhere..not sure how it happens.

Lexapro is not doing anything for me.

BF thing yeah . It's been 5 years almost but still having aftermath. he

committed suicide.. we were together 13 years.

well last week .. I got in a " friend's " car and started to panic and said

I needed to go home. He purposely held me hostage for over an hour while

I was begging to go home. SO now I am kinda scared to get in a car at

all. Yep and it is control.

Hi terry ..yep I have agoraphobia. ( among other things)

What are you reading, and what kind of kewelry do you make? Do you advertise it

on the web or anything like that.

I make jewelry to sell and read..and feel like shit a lot all day. No

kids. I live alone ( BF died) but I tried it and that was even worse than

driving alone. yep I'm on meds lexapro and flurazepam.

Im sorry about your boyrfriend. Its so hard keeping track of everyone, is the

Lexapro helping at all with the agoraphobia?

here is a great argument for driving right now. I have to go get an

independent exam from disability...and it is too far. either 70 dollars

for a cab..or 3 buses ( an hour trip and a walk into I do not even know

which direction but in a potentially seedy neighborhood. I am freaking

out . no one can give me a ride. alison

I cant take a cab or a bus. I have to drive, nor can I be a passenger. It sucks

I know. I guess its a control thing us agoraphobics have huh? Terry

Have you thought of selling it on Ebay? How do you make it with no money? I

assume you must get SSI. I applied YEARS ago, but couldnt travel into the sity

to see their docs, now Im glad I didnt because I wouldnt have what I have today,

a new car, house on the water, etc. etc.. I have a good business from home that

pays the bills. The state gives ya a measely $600 bucks or so, I can't and won'r

live on that. because of my agoraphobia and a few other phobia, I fear being

alone so hubby can't work altho he works in the are for a few people. So I have

to work very hard and believe me there are times when I wish I could collect for

all my problems. I get so tired of trying to make ends meet. Terry

I'm very very sorry Alison.

I needed to go home. He purposely held me hostage for over an hour while

I was begging to go home. SO now I am kinda scared to get in a car at

I had this happen to me when I was 18 or so. I didnt know I had agoraphobia back

then and I hung out with these 3 guys, they were just friends for a few years.

We use to always sit outside of my house and listen to the radio and talk. We

did this for hours on end. Then one day they came, I got in between 2 of the

guys in the front seat and off they drove!!! Two towns over he went! I was like

scrunched down in the seat panicing to myself, it was horrible. As we left my

(safe) hometwown, the driver, Ricky announced, wow Terry is NOW out of *********

my hometown. It was horrid. So for about 2 or 3 hours we drove to places I

couldnt even see. It was the most frightening thing. Finally when we got to my

house, they let me out and I was angry for weeks!!! Im wouldn't even talk to

them when they called. Eventually Ricky apologized but it wasn't sincere. I saw

him years later, like 6 years ago and explained to him what was wrong with me

back then and what he did, He did apologize but still, that night is still

embedded in my mind. People can be so cruel. Terry

OMG I am sorry that happened to you with the car. YEP that is what this

one did.. he went several towns away from my house. He knows I have these

problems . He was being abusive or something and I got no appology.
