Hi Barb,
No, I stopped Depakote right around Daylight Saving's end and right when this depression seemed to set in. It's wierd but sometimes I need a contrasting mood in order to understand where I was before. Where I was before in the past couple months was better than this. And it wasn't depression. it was mixed and hypo and normal; I was cycling rapidly. Yes, that's what it was. I'd forgotten how blahhhhhhh depression is. How foggy the brain is. how heavy the limbs and bones are, how exhausted I become. and that sallow thing.....I up the Lamictal tomorrow to 100mg. Hopefully that will add a zing to my days. Nothing makes a dent now. Coffee doesn't get me high; I've given up alcohol (still thinking of that Stag's leap....). Things have to improve soon or I will take the matter into my own hands and forget taking a leap of faith and head for the leap of Stag! really. if the meds ain't working, then something has to help. I've still got some strength and patience however.
I wonder if we all got together, I wonder if it'd be triple trouble or a healing supportive environment. I wonder if we'd activate the highs and the corking open of skunk blood and rancid swamp juice or would we all be good.
hmmmm.
take care and I'm glad you're there to.
Katia
