Hi,
Okay, so you are saying that the shocks stop FOR GOOD after a week but you keep taking Atavin because it stops you from crying so easily? (believe me, I understand - "been there, done that" - SSRI's and believe it or not Klonopin have helped me with the crying stuff).
Just out of curiosity, what meds/cocktail are you on? Me, for now I'm on this titrating up on Lamictal and I take Zyprexa + Klonopin to help me get to sleep at night, and Klonopin as need during the day (somedays not needed at all!) for anxiety. It remains to be seen after I ride out the stopping of EffexorXR if I will need to add some other SSRI (I'm hoping not, but time will tell!)
I'm the opposite of you with doses - Janelle is sensitive to meds; needs small doses to function, doses that probably wouldn't do much of anything to most people.
The only reeeeeal bad stuff that has happened to me was from bad advice from a good doc having me go off Paxil (after being on it for YEARS then poop out) waaaaaay too fast. I was so sick with every withdrawal symptom in the book for weeks, including, of course, that darn electric head and that was the *least* of it I'd say.
As I'd said, no problemo regarding the email - I *hear* you about it being more likely to get a quick response from you on here because you get "several megs" of e-mail a day! I get a lot too, and being in the *condition* I'm in I get easily overwhelmed and anxious even about keeping up with that!
Thanks again for all your answers and I'll *see* you on here!
-Janelle
