Hi Neal,
<<Therapy is great; not doubt about it; if you can find the right therapist, and either have great insurance or a lot of money. >>
I totally agree.
When I was severely depressed which I now realize was the result of being cold turkeyed off of Prozac after my dose had been doubled, I was in therapy.
To make a long story short, this therapist was able to get me back to work. I didn't really appreciate how great she was until I started tapering off of meds and having withdrawal symptoms.
She was the type of person that didn't allow you to feel sorry for yourself. At the time, I would rebel every now and then but looking back, she was exactly what I needed.
<<We don't have to be that rigid. We can talk about alternative "medications" on this board too. We're talking abstractly about them. The big picture in terms of what's out there, not details about them.>>
Exactly! People also might forget to check the withdrawal board.
Also, we shouldn't forget that the options aren't just meds or supplements. It can be a combination.
<<BTW - I can attest that Niacinamide is a great sleep aide for me.>>
That is great to hear. Can you tell me how much you take and which brand?
I am in a situation where if I cut down my supplements, I sleep great. But then it impairs my functioning.
And as I previously mentioned, I have had no luck with alternative practitioners.
Thanks!
