Hey Karen
I'm glad you like sensitive guys and glad you found one! I really think a certain degree of sensitivity is great, but it can be a real drag if you mix it with depressive tendencies (as in my case). When I'm depressed my self esteem sinks into a pit- I find it very difficult to relate to women in this state.
>Why'd you end up on Tri AND Lamic? Were you on tegretol before?
Never been on tegretol. I ended up trying Lam because everything else wasn't working and was leading to cycling. Lam worked great-then faded.
Do you work?
Currently looking and it's driving me slowly but surely over the edge-I'm out of money! I've got a second interview on Thursday for a job that I want and I'm on pins and needles.
> Prozac How much are you on, how long did it take to work? Do you get hypomania at all?Now on 20mg but it is causing cycling- not really hypomania- to tell you the truth I'm not sure whether I get hypomania or I just have a "normal" mood- whatever that is. I've never gone on shopping binges or anything.
>> >I tend to cycle every 3 or 4 days.
> Man! You never get more than that? That really bites. What happened with the other ADs you've been on?They either didn't work or caused cycling.
> >90% of my life in the depressed state.
> How have things changed over the years?Since discovering anti-depressants I've been cycling a lot more I guess which is better than being depressed all the time.
Anyway, glad your combo seems to be working- I'm dropping the trileptal because it's been making me feel horrible.
As for my sensitivity- I think a lobotomy might fix it. I'm going to try and go down to Mexico and get me one.
Cheers,
Peter
