I take 50mg generic Zoloft daily: works for me - fewer meltdowns. It’s a huge load we carry. House & yard is a lot at 80 - hire a lot more help this year. Count my blessings that I can.

To Everyone: THANK YOU for sharing your information.
Here are our results, to date:

I love all of these posts, particularly ShirleyBertacchi with the tequila. I
have thought about drinking but I'm loopy after 2 glasses of wine and I don't
need to be loopy to take care of my husband. I take wellbutrin and have
been for years. I was a very volatile person before and wellbutrin has helped me
feel normal - no ups or downs -- just an even keel. And so what if you
gain a little weight - it's not like I'll be going out, at my age, to look for
another man. I couldn't finid a better one than I have had and I'd probably
wind up having to take care of him, too. Ditto for the sexual malfunction.
I'm 78 and my husband is 80 --- give me a break ! who cares about sex. ha
ha ha ha. I take it one day at a time and when something rears its ugly head,
I do what I can about it and that's all any of us can do. Don't get me wrong --
I get tired and sometimes sad, but my husband saw me through breast cancer
and a quadruple bypass so I owe him big time ! ! I just hope I am around
to take care of him as long as he needs taking care of.

Long ago, I was put on Sertraline for panic attacks. During mom's stay at a center, they uppped my dosage to 1 1/2 daily. After mom passed away 2 year and 4 days ago, things aren't all hunky dory, but I'm coping without flair-ups, and do one day at a time. We also have a support group for families of people w/dem/Alz who need people to vent with and ask questions. I am still a member of the group, and also a grief group headed up by a hospice organization in town. Sending Prayer.

Helen, I have just recently started taking Shaklee Stress Relief. I do find it is helping somewhat. I don’t have the restless, non sleep nights, so I do believe that is a benefit. I take many Shaklee supplements because of their great benefits and they are pure and natural. I always make sure whatever I take is gluten free too! They are.
