Hi Lorraine,

Thanks for the chart offer, but right now I have nothing to chart. I went off both the prozac and concerta. I got scared at the magnitude of my depression on Sunday, and felt I wasn't willing to put in a six week trial with a crash on the third day. So now I have just the oxycontin and Klonopin. I am either going to try the estrogen patch (need to get more info and talk to my gyn) and/or wait six weeks and try parnate. I've never tried it; I was given nardil and that worked so well for me that I never found any reason to change. If I do try estrogen, then I may chart my moods. I am hoping to be able to read the whole article, because as I mentioned in another thread ,the success rate for "remission of depression" was less than 30%. In the blurb I read from Reiters, it is being recommended for mild perimenopausal depression. Plus there are other studies in which HRT caused depression. My pdoc is for trying it, but I actually trust my gyn more.

Right now I'm so so grateful for the OC; I wake up depressed, take it, and in a little over an hour I feel okay. The longer though, that I stay in this depression mode, the further I feel from setting goals for myself. I feel like I'm losing myself. I think there's a thread about "coming back" that I haven't read on S-P-B that I think I'll read through.

Keep me updated on what is going on with you,

Shelli
