Hey Wayne,
So sorry, just figured you couldn't get to Chitown on such short notice :)
I think if there is a genetic link in my family - it was my father. My hesitance to tell my brothers is not shame as I am the Lex Poster Girl in both senses these days. Sometimes I think I'm too quick to tell people but, for me, it's a bit like finding a great new book or band - I want everyone to know about it. I've even begun writing about my experiences for a local paper and send the columns to all my friends. Being the baby sister, I'm tired of my brothers being so worried about me all the time and they are both so thrilled with my current disposition that I would hate for them to have to be confronted with their sister's problems all over again, particularly because we're spread out across the country and no one is breeding at this point so that's not an issue. I'm at about 8 weeks with lex and will share that with them when it seems appropriate.
I would be really interested in any of the information you have compiled. I remember the difficulty I faced in my high school and college years and would not wish what I went through on anyone. I'm looking into volunteering for a suicide hotline now that I feel I'm stable enough to be of use to others.
So, did the other meds not work or did you adjust to them? I've done so well on lex that I kind of get anxiety about it not having the same effect in the future.
And, by the way, I'm quite proud of my newfound geekdom - I've found it quite helpful.
Take care,
Lexey
