About a month ago I asked my husband to move out.

Last week my Dr. but me on meds. for anxiety and depression. I've never had anxiety issues like I have now. I felt like I was going to have some kind of break down. Crying all day, shaking, obsessive thoughts and talking about my situation, I lost 25 pounds in 3 weeks, eating makes me gag, very little sleep, heart beating fast, pains in my chest, not wanting to do anything I use to love, not wanting to talk to people, suddenly have a panicky feeling when around people, feeling like I want to run myself into a wall and knock myself out, that one scared me the most I don't understand that one.

I have a question, my Dr. put me on Paxil, I'm taking half a 20mg pill. The past 2 days I've had a bloated tummy and a feeling like I have a UTI. I did have intestinal troubles all weekend. Is this due to the meds. , the stress, the anxiety?

Mom, I'm so sorry you are going through this. Just want to let you know I've been where you are now, as far as the process of separating. It's a difficult time, and you are allowed to freak out. Sorry, I don't have any words of wisdom towards your meds, you are doing the right thing by keeping with your doc and your meds. I'll be thinking aboutcha. I know you know this will pass, just hang in there.
