Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 Dear , I'm sorry for the delay...I have a very hard time trying to find your replies...it's there, just too much on the screen at the same time or something...don't understand it...anyway, I will try harder..again, sorry. RE: SSDI...3/05 initial application, 11/05 denied, 12/05 applied to reconsider, 2/06 denied again...have not appealed this yet, but still within time frame to do so. SSDI says that because I can do minor household chores that I am employable. I have TWO letters from my Dr. saying in her opinion I am temporarily and totally disabled and unable to gainfully seek employment. SSDI has copies of these. RE: Prozac...my Dr. doesn't want me on any SSRI. We are going to see if I can handle my panic and anxiety by other means other than meds. RE: Welbutrin...I was originally prescribed 150mg. back in 4/05 for major depression (I had just lost custody of my children because I was in the middle of a domestic violence case)(Victim 11/05) My dosage was doubled (XL 300mg) on March 16 when my Dr. took my Paxil from 40mg. down to 20mg. I am currently still on XL300mg. and I know I would go downhill fast without it right now. (I still have depressive, crying episodes about once a week) This seems like such a jumbled up mess to me. I can only hope that you are able to make sense of it all. Thank you . It always makes me teary-eyed when the emotion strikes me that someone cares about me.
