As an aside, I'm also a 53er living in the body and brain of a 90 year old - but my mind is still 23.

I've been treated for the anxiety issues off and on for years (that's why I know about how the antidepressants affect me). For the past couple years the anxiety hasn't been bad. I have lorazepam for use as needed, but only use it once a month on average.
One doctor recommended tricyclics or Cymbalta to treat the neuropathy symptoms. No thank you, unless it gets a lot worse (lets hope not).
