Sadsack,
Thank you for the encouragement. I am very glad I found this web site.
I do feel better now. Alot of the irritability has passed, I managed a mini-crisis pretty well over the weekend and I feel much happier and not unsettled at all.
I started at 20 mg, which makes me wonder because I noticed that most of the people on this site seem to have started at 10 mg. I guess pdoc feels like I am an old pro at SSRIs and needed a big kick startoff?
The other thing is, I am in a hormonally good time of the month, so maybe I will take a nosedive after the cycle changes. Hope not, but if so, I'll be posting to ask about THAT, too.All in all, the sleepiness, irritability have abated, the sex is good (yea!) and I've noticed that I'm finally feeling like doing stuff that I didn't have any interest in for a long while there. I think that is probably the biggest indicator that it is working. Interest in old hobbies...
thank you again and I'll be here if any one needs an ear!
Mary
