I appreciate any and all info and insight that anyone is willing to share with me.

> DrexxieHey, Drex.
First of all, I want the record to show that IMHO, you have recently passed that point
that either Elizabeth or Else referred to when they asked "How go is good enough?" (I
THINK that was the subject under discussion). Dr. Bob, This DOES have to do with
Medication Issues!I don't know if you can find the reference (actually, with the energy that your
projecting right now, you could probably find anything), but it was broadcast on All
Things Considered on NPR, possibly 2-4 years ago, maybe around 5:30 PM, EDT,
around Tuesday, December 29, 1999, but that's a guess. With my memory and your
energy, I'm sure it can be located, either through their (NPR) Archives, a Journal
search, or having the luck to talk to the right person-that's always the easiest. Or we
could ask my sister, to whom I was relating my experience, when we heard it on the
news. She might be able to narrow it down further! Of course this raises THE
CONSPIRACY THEORY, or why we haven't heard it spoken of since then. I want
nothing to do with conspiracy theories."Sheesh! It's absolute Hell when my ADHD is free to run rampant throught my
mind sans the chains of the proper medications. I hadn't previously realized
it, but I'm afraid; afraid that there'll be nothing which can help me, now that
the Adderall/Dexedrine/Wellbutrin trio is apparently no longer able to carry
my psychiatric weight (frown).Hmmm... It's interesting that I was unable to identify my feeling and
recognize my fear in regards to this situation, until this moment"..."I think most of us live in terror that our meds will stop having an acceptable effect.
I also may have reason to have a big grin on my face. It has something to do with
possibly getting over the negative sexual effects of Celexa. I may give a more
detailed report when I am more certain of the results ; >)jojo
