I am on lexapro (10mg) and klonopin..both for depression and anxiety. My mom passed away 5 years ago at 57 and my dad 3 months ago at 61. My mom took her life due to severe pain from fribo and my dad died of lung cancer at home in our arms. He did not want to go and fought until the very last minute. I grieved so much while my brother and I were taking care of him and wondered why I did not grieve that much later. Well 3 months later it hit me like of ton bricks...the grief that is. Work has me so stressed and I was working 50 hours a week because of conversion. I blame it on work!!!!! I went to the doc (my regular physician) and his cure was to put me on more meds. He put me on Buspar. I took it for 2 weeks and it did not work...I felt like hell on it and could not sleep. I stopped taking it. I am still in depression and cannot handle the least amount of stress. I am going back to counseling starting Wed and I think that is what will get me through this. It did with my mom. I don't need additional meds!!!!! I used to jerk alot in my sleep and the knolopin has cured that. The lexapro does and did work but I think it is now time for therapy once again.....
