Hi Mystic - Thanks for your post. I keep wondering if maybe we just expect too much? Is this just life? I really think your new therapy modality will help you immensely! If you can get at the root of some of your pain, maybe the chemical/hormonal stuff won't be as debilitating for you & your symptoms won't go as deep. I've got my fingers crossed for you and I can't wait to hear what you think of it.
I've been down to 10mg for the past 3 days and am doing okay, period came today, no horrible feelings since Sunday. I also lost 2 lbs that have stayed off this week without any change in eating or exercising.
I was surfing the net and found an article yesterday from 1998 in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry that said the reason weight gain isn't listed as one of the s/e's is because all of the studies were just short-term usage - looking at the first month or so. The weight gain usually comes after a few months of SSRI usage. It also quoted a % range of 18 - 30% who do have weight gain.
Hang in there Mystic, and everyone! I'm considering Trucker's idea of making a positive feedback tape to listen to while I sleep.
Thanks Simus for all the scripture quotes. I'm not a Bible expert, but they are very comforting.
