Crazy Horse,
Thanks for the sharing-I see a lot of similarities in my life, although you've had it harder than I have. I even had the same pdoc and TCA story, except I went absolutely nutcake anxious, even at a low dose. I guess he didn't know about starting panic disorder folks on very low doses. I haven't been in the hospital, but that's just because when I was ready to go, my therapist told me I'd be worse off-and I think he was right. I've had the same relapses and the concerns about my kids-except that I very much see the same depression/panic in one of my grownup daughters, who won't take meds/go see a therapist. I sometimes wonder if "normal" people appreciate how fortunate they are to just do things and not have to battle anxiety/depression at the same time. I'm "between" meds that work, so I empathize with the "how long will this set of meds work?" concern. Best of luck, man.
