My PCP in Florida is the one that put me on anti depressant, anti axiety drugs to start and when I moved back to Louisiana, my PCP here just asked what meds I was on and what I needed and wrote out the Rx's. The one I had in Florida would give me the free samples too, but I only allowed him to give me what I needed to hold me over until I could get mine back in the mail so as to save those free ones for people like you who NEED them and are not as lucky as I am to have insurance.

I am now discovering that I have anxiety attacks prior to something bad happening to my family or them being in danger.. I had a serious one just a night or two before Eddie's accident and KNEW I HAD to get off that boat, I just didn't know why.. Then with Katrina, I had a mild one as it crossed Florida... But both times, I had peace in my heart and knew things would be alright in the end.

Do you think the depression could be over all the suffering and death as a result of Katrina? I was SO depressed by the time I got off that boat that I was going to start taking those meds again but talked myself out of it because I worked so hard to get off the stuff. That had all of us on the boat depressed, it happened in New Orleans but it effected people everywhere and those images will be in our mind for a long time.. Could it be that?
