You hit the nail on the head Snoopy, *Normal*, that's exactly what Paxil did for me. I hate that these meds quit working, after awhile. I will probably give Lexapro a try and if it doesn't work, Cymbalta or Effexor or etc..... till I find the one for me.

I.ve never heard of this one, Nancy, but it sounds like it may give you an energy boost, like Prozac, and I couldn't take prozac for that reason. Hey I may try it though, if none of the others work. Like Snoopy, I just want to feel normal again.

Thanks to you all for your great imput. I don't know what I'd do without you.
