Hi, have used this site before and found it a great help. Last two years have been incredibly difficult for me living with a younish husband who has terminally ill heart problems and a twelve year old son who has a 50% chance of having the same genetic heart problems. On top of this my husband's family have been incredibly unsupportive and my mother in law incredibly unkind and cruel.
Took this last summer, came off. Starte again before Christmas after visiting a very sympathetic GP. She initially recommended Setotax, I changed to a different brand of prescriptive tablet, but never took it. Heard so many awful side effects. Started SJW with vitamin B supplements, detoxing a little and now in week 4 and definately feeling better and sleeping for the first time in a year.
Starting counselling tomorrow to help me work through the ongoing problems, but the SJW is helping the raw feelings and the edges are becoming smoother. This is an excellent site.
Anybody taking it, try and stick it, the SJW works slowly but gently. Positive and inner strength begins to creep back. Good to hear from anybody, this site is a lifeline. Hope

Hi Hope!
I remember you from months ago, glad you're hanging in there. I think the AD you were referring to is Seroxat, the UK name for Paxil. I would DEFINITELY give the SJW a second go before trying that...it can help many people but is notoriously difficult to withdraw from.
How are things with you, anyway? I remember your story and the problems you had with your in laws - is the situation still the same? I hope things improve for you in 2003.
Best wishes,
juju

Lovely to hear from you. No my mother in law, who has mental ill helath which nobody in the family wants to address, do not talk about such things etc; is still being manipulative and cruel behind the scenes. She has 3 sons apart from my husband who dote on her, know she can be cruel but think you just have to put up with it. Having a down weekend, as my husband had such long surgery and long a long time unconscience, he has terrible mood swings and can be quite hurtful, out of frustration and who knows what. I am not quite strong enough, I am just starting counselling again, but having a crumbly weekend and feel quite tearful. So kind of you to write back, I will carry on with SJW but not strong enough to deal with much else at the moment apart from mundane everyday life things. Came on this site feeling abit sorry for myself so was great to get your reply, at least some people understand this awful dark journey. Hope

HI, I was prescribed Seroxat here in Britain & I've slowly weaned myself down to 1/2 tab per 2 days but it has definately had a negative effect. I get so down thinking so negatively with regards to relationships etc. Thinking too much into the future about what might be wrong rather than thinking positively.
I think it's caused me to fall out of love with my girlfriend because all I see are her negative points rather than positives & there are lots of them. The negatives are shallow & stupid most of the time.
I've just started taking SJW, I hope it has a positive effect on me.

Thanks for your message, so hope it works for you. I still feel increbilbe anger and hurt towards the people who have betrayed me in my darkest hours and sadly with my husbands and illness I also see too many negatives. Living with an illness is soul destroying and horrible. Sometimes I feel I do not have enough strength to deal with any more of his family's cruel ways, but know that it all comes with the territory. Learning to love yourself enough is probably the best way to deal with bad people. So hope that the edge goes off, stick with it. I am two months in nearly, still struggling abit but it helps me sleep if nothing else, but doesn't numb all of the feelings sadly. Good Luck, you are not alone, there are many like us out there. Hope
