Darkwind,
I feel your pain. Coming off this med. isn't a walk in the park either. the crying, mood swings, fear of what i'll be like when i'm "clean".... you know the drill.
on the lighter side of things... speaking of memory loss. I put a soda in the freezer sunday night to get is extra cold for my supper... forgot about it naturally. Monday morning was a big suprise when i opened the freezer door. Talk about an explosion!! The soda exploded and sprayed everwhere and actually froze on the 'roof' of the freezer before it dripped down. It looks like a cave in there. ugh!
good luck with the future. i think you are playing it the best you can. one day at a time.. or one month at a time as you said. my doc appt. isn't for another week. i have no idea what he is going to suggest, as he is not the doc that originally prescribed the med. He's a very thorough doc.. so my hope is that eventually the two of use can figure this out.
btw, i completely understand the truck under the tree scenario. when i go to the grocery i always park in the same area... just for this reason.. so i won't forget where the car is. however, they've decided to play a big joke on the poor crazy woman (me) and remodel the store so that everything looks different. now when i come out of the store i don't know where i'm at...wondering up and down the parking lot with my groceries looking for my car.
i still fear that not being on the med will be worse than being on it... we shall see what happens.
