I'm glad that you went in, Llurpsie. I want to cast my vote for a cat for several reasons:
no more mouse
instant bedwarmer, just place it where you need it (ok, it's more like - burrow your toes under the cat until it gets off the bed)
unconditional love - no, wait - it's conditional upon non-stop feeding and lots of treats
someone to talk to
something else to love and care for
it's a beautiful addition to any room (it's true, just ask the cat!)I don't mean to make light of your experience, Llurps. You are such a smart and resourceful woman. As for your continuing trouble with Cymbalta withdrawal; it helps if you treat yourself as if you've got a nasty bout of the flu. Rest lots, keep hydrated, and get comfortable. I tapered off of Lamictal in January and I'm just starting to feel better.
