[quote=Anonymous]I have generalized anxiety disorder. I have been on both Lexapro and Zoloft. Both helped in different ways, and I would recommend trying either of those or Prozac if things are really bad (sounds like they are). I was prescribed them by my OBGYN in my early 40s and I went from not wanting to live (just wanting to sort of disappear due to the pain of my anxiety) to feeling like life was pretty good and generally “light.” Of course there are sucky side effects, but none as bad my anxiety was. I have also tried therapy many times, but have never had success with it for whatever reason.

All that said, in my late 40s my OB encouraged me to try HRT. I stopped the Zoloft (I’ve never had trouble stopping) and went on the estrogen patch and progesterone. I since have added testosterone.

It’s been a few years and I feel pretty good. Maybe not as good as the Zoloft—but I also don’t have the side effects of Zoloft to deal with. I still have anxiety some days, but not every day like before, and I’m able to manage it with exercise. [/quote]
