Well, I am sure it is just not one drug helping to put me in this "mind-state". I am on many drugs, and I do a TON of introspective journaling (funny, in teaching we are made to do these as part of our courses. I REALLY give my prof's something to think about!!..lol)
The milnacipran you tried may have been nice if a)you had a benzo to go with it or b)you had a nice opiate to go with it :) One point I never mentioned, is for almost two decades, I've been using a small amount of an opiate my fam doc prescribes me, for my very painful deep cavity sinus pressure. (My sinus cavities developed in a way so that I never get proper sinus drainage. Am I lucky to have a doc who rx's opiates for this, for me? Yep...No matter how bad I am...I still consider myself a lucky man. So many live in awful conditions here and abroad, and I am lucky to have a loving family, a warm clean bed, on a safe street. Sorry for going off on a few tangents there..heh..but that does tie nicely into gratitude. It is so easy to lose that in mental illness.) So, are you going to see Mr. Cohen? Oui? He is such a Canadian Icon! (I just HAD to add that..lol.) The world....life..is just eternal light..period. As you know, light can never be destroyed. I'd go as far to say as love and light are close relatives. "We can never break the chain.." Maybe our depression is built-in to our genetic history and is a "flaw", or a "lemon". We need to evolve in order to learn more. But, some politicans aren't big on "evolving"...cough cough. Okay, I'll shut up now.
Best,
Jay
