I have what is known as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). This affects my everyday life. I always have to be reassured that everything is going to be alright one way or another. When I do not have my medicine I am very irritable, fatigued and just plan emotionally wrecked. After my youngest child was born the symptoms worsened to the extreme where I was affraid to hold my daughter from fear of possibly hurting her. I know this sounds silly but I spoke with my doctor who reffered me to a specialist. He finally put a name to how I was feeling, hince GAD. Once he prescribed my Effexor XR I was like a totally different person. I wasn't affraid of my daughter or affraid something terrible might happen. This medicine is an absolute life saver and very expensive. So expensive I can't afford to purchase it. I do not have $140 to spare a month. This is why I am writing about my life. I hope it will help.
