Yes, but I do fear drugs I don't understand and don't have experience with. Atypical antipsychotics? Tricyclics? MAOI's? (although intrugued by EMSAM). Yikes!!!! I'd like to put on my running shoes and sprint away as fast as I can!
Remember, I'm the one who's always concerned with the potential for weight gain, since if it's a possible side effect (even when NOT "possible" Re: Wellbutrin), my metabolism gets wacked and this happens to me! (I'm still working a little on getting back to my norm after what Effexor did. I don't want to make life more difficult than it already is.) Plus I'm afraid of any other odd side effects that may occur with such complex medications.
Since Lunesta was so great before, I think I actually may be OK with a medication with less "punch" than Seroquel. My body has just grown accustomed to the Lunesta and needs to be tricked back in to sleeping. I was going through a very busy and stressful time (at the same intensity that I'm currenty dealing with) last year when I began Lunesta, and even then it was a wonderful Godsend and cure to my sleep issues.
BTW... if it's annoying anyone to death that I use so many parentheses in my posts, I'll gladly stop. I don't want to add to the irritability than many of us face. It's just my way of posting in a manner that makes sense to me, as if it were a speech, not a written essay.
