I hope I'm able to maintain now without SSRI's. I was told that as long as it took me to get to the point I needed meds was how long I was going to have to on them to reset my serotonin levels. It's been that long. And I've not had any symptoms in over a year now. Before that time I still had break-through anxiety and depression.

As bad as my anxiety was if I felt that bad again I'd *much* rather be fat and have no anxiety. I walked around afraid *all* the time. It was terrible.
