I can't imagine being a parent. I'm in my mid 30's, and many years ago I made up my mind never to reproduce because I didn't want to pass my shaky genes on to anyone else. Not to mention, my social skills were so stunted that opportunities for reproduction had been (and still are) few and far between.
On a more positive note, while my CNS is still dysfunctional, my IBS has been improving lately, thanks to a regimen of acidophilus, Citrucel, and chewable vitamins. I seem to actually be gaining weight for the first time since I went on Strattera last May (I am under medical orders to gain weight, and weight loss has always been the main reason i have had to drop meds in the past). Oh, and I remember, you and KellyD were great advocates for klonopin when I was going through constant anxiety crises during an abortive attempt at CBT. I'm taking .5 mg in the am and I'm still anxious, but not quite a dictionary definition of anxious (as an old friend once described me).
And I'm glad you responded to my post, it made me feel less imprisoned in the autistic spectrum isolation chamber :)
