Best wishes Mary. Life is difficult sometimes, huh? I have a feeling things are going to get easier for you soon. In the meantime, we are here if you need to talk.

And that's what nice about being here in babbleland ~ I get to feel like I have something to offer every so often. And I like to help - actually, I can't help that, I'm a Virgo =;)

I had been interested in reboxetine before I got my "donation" - and I've been doing this too long (23 years) not to be careful with such powerful medications. And I would never, ever take a med w/o talking to my pdoc first. She was concerned as well that I might experience insomnia with it, but given how I've been doing, she thought it would be fine for me to try it. She also knows that if I have some kind of crisis I know how to get help.

> Day two of the rebox was a lot of tears, and I had a major blowup with my father, which probably would have happened anyway. There was some good stuff, too, though, like actually going out into the world for a little while, feeling some energy, experiences of grieving and sadness that were pretty intense, but ultimately healing. I dunno. Right now I feel really good. I've been numb for so long it's cathartic to be *feeling* again. I didn't sleep much last night, though, and I'll be careful with that.

> Good luck, Ron, and thanks for your concern.
