which for lack of a better phrase, slows down my intestines. I flip flop back and forth on the anti-depressant/anti-anxiety arguement. If you look at earlier posts of mine I am a cheerleader for them. I guess my final thought on them is to give other avenues a try before starting the drugs. For me it was difficult going off of celexa a few months ago, my anxiety got worse which can happen depending on the person. Now I am also taking Prozac once weekly, but my anxiety is still there. All I can say is do lots of research, talk to your doctor and come to an answer you are happy with. I am so pleased with the nortriptylene but I don't feel much of a difference with the prozac. Have to see my dr. about that.

Good luck with your move, my husband and I moved a total of 6 times and we have only been married for 8 years!
