Goodness! You just made the team and you're talking Super Bowl! <grin>
Please be just a bit patient. Let your life unfold like the magic carpet that it really is. Don't miss any steps by over-anticipation. Enjoy the process. You know that old thing, "Happiness is found along the way, not at the end of the road." Have some fun. Lovely thing about Lex: you can enjoy the screwy things that make up this vale of joys and tears. Bless you for beginning the journey and don't hear preaching in my remarks, although that's probably easy to do. I really don't mean it that way. I have used this analogy before but someone taught it to me and I value the prospective it gives. You have many friends here. You're in the bottom of a canyon in the rapids while we who have made the river run before you stand on the rim of the canyon looking down. We see what you're going through. We see what's ahead, although it's hidden from your view by the bends in the river. So try to be patient with the things we shout down to you. You're going to be fine and we're going to help all you let us. Enjoy the ride. That will make looking back on it much more fun and the pictures much more vivid.
And let your body tell you when you need to taper off the meds. By no means should you rush it. The meds are like any other tool. I never saw a mechanic try to wean himself off a screwdriver or hammer!
> nicky847, you said, "...it takes more than meds..it takes changing your priorities and your lifestyle so that your own needs come a little higher on the pecking order..."

> Do you think after accomplishing that, that you/we should ? be able to wean off the meds?
