Medicine....

I'm completely off my anti-anxiety/depressant medicine and feeling great!
After having Elaina (June of 06) our third we had a very hard time, her 2 month stay in the hospital, and then in December back for a week for the flu. The whole thing took its toll on me as a mom. I felt really guilt about her being sick again and knowing I was already blue from the summer. So after two brake downs, feeling to tired to do the simplest thing, anxiety about everything, and feeling out of control. I got help. First went to a wonderful Christian counselor and started on Lexapro 10mg in January of 07. Then, in August I started cutting the dose by half and now in October stop taking it a week ago. It's funny because I didn't even realize I had stop taking it. I know what to look for if I start down that road again. God gives us medicine so that we can use it if it's necessary. I think it's always important to try to come off any medicine to see if you still need it. Do I still need my medicine? Time will tell. But for now I thank God for how good I feel.
