These conditions make physical symptoms worse and feedback to increase their own levels of severity if left unchecked.
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.

Dave:
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).

Not something I can take but I've heard of Neurologists recommending cymbalta for Neuropathy...what upsets me is when we have a voice of con they get very and not want to help.....further.

Tongue
That doctor response of eye rolling.... has a name. I learned it at a seminar for Prozac years ago. It is called "the organ recital" by doctors. The shrink who was being paid by Lilly to lecture those of us (mostly doctors, but also other health care professionals too) said in essence that when the organ recital begins, that is the time for Prozac...the first "safe" antidepressant!

I'll never forget the tone he used, demeaning those patients!
