New Blog

It's been a while since I've written!  There's been a lot going on, both at work and at home.  I went to the doctor last Thursday to see about this breathing problem I've been having - it just seems like the air is thin and I can't catch my breath.  He figured it was anxiety, mixed with a touch of depression I haven't been able to shake, so he gave me some Zoloft to try, along with some chest X-rays and bloodwork, which I should get back next week some time.

I'm going to start a separate blog about this zoloft thing, tracing my progress.  I've heard so many horror stories about anti-depressants, I never wanted to get on them myself.  Unfortunately, Yoga can only help with so much...! 

As soon as I got back to the computer after my doctor's appointment Thursday, I googled "Zoloft" to see what I could find about it.  Some people have complained about strange zaps in their brain, others have mentioned feeing suicidal and more depressed than before they took it, and still others have complained of even worse side effects.  Great - not looking forward to this.  Fortunately, everyone is different, so what may not work for some may work for others, and vice versa.  So far, I have no major complaints - but see sidebar for the link to this blog if you're interested.
