I just began taking an antidepressant. I was in constant pain. My arms and legs were weak and sore. My nerves all felt on edge. I put my hand gun away after I thought how easy it would be to make this all go away. I was treating my wife terribly, and didn't really realize it. My friends who noticed would comment on how I had not been myself in a long time. Stress does incredible things to you. I took my first pill today at about 5 pm. At 6:30 I began feeling very dizzy and sick. 20 minutes later my legs stopped hurting, the nausea went away. I'm still a slight bit dizzy, but not too bad. I have not felt this good in a long time. I feel great. Emily said wow Dad. I haven't seen you this happy in a long time.
The drug helps saratonin levels in the brain which is a neurotransmitter. If you need help, get it. I have a documented history of panic attacks during stressful periods in my life. I never thought about trying anti depressants. My doctor suggested it. I was hesitant. I felt TERRIBLE the other day. I walked in and told her I wanted to try it. It's the first day so don't know what will happen when it really gets into my system, but for now I feel wonderful.

Hey Pete,
I was reading this and I feel for you. I've had some anxiety that turned into panic attacks a few times, especially when I worked in the jail. I'll be praying for you and please call if you need anything.
