I'm new here.

HI,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a single mom of a teenaged son; I have a history of depression and really bad anxiety and panic attacks. After years of antidepressants that never worked, I was just taking klonapin to control my anxiety but the depression was still there every day. I've now found a great psychiatric NP who's really made the RX into a science of hers, it seems like. She put me on Effexor and I feel sooooo much less depressed and I'm even down on my klonapin usage as well. My only issue is I feel it makes me a bit unmotivated. But I don't want to get off of it because I don't want to fall into depression again.
I love gardening and cats, and I love to read and learn new things. That's it for now. Oh, and does anyone know how/if I can view my profile on here (if they have that)? Can I add an avatar? Thank you and best to you all.

Oh well done on finding a NP who listens and thinks. Looks like you've answered the avatar question already. Your profile is weedulce-u263888/ But it's not possible to fill much info in until you've made a few more posts. [That's just to slow down the folk who are desperate to sell us Uggs and Viagra.] Keep posting!
