I had to be in partial while they put me on it, though. And still have HORRIBLE withdrawal if I miss a dose by more than 12-18 hours. I've never been so good about taking my meds though. So maybe that is a good thing.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947774481886334206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060627539063061936.post-19529201688290256582010-01-21T01:21:23.388-05:002010-01-21T01:21:23.388-05:00A Harlan Ellison reference - excellent!A Harlan Ellison reference - excellent!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060627539063061936.post-20608236102613479082010-01-20T18:53:58.057-05:002010-01-20T18:53:58.057-05:00Enjoy the puppy cam!

Missing yourself is something I understand too. And yet the alternative is not pretty. If only there were a half-way point in all of this. I am attempting to build a different life and trying not to grieve the life I have lost. It is not easy, but that is what I am trying to do.

The doctors prescribe medications and care little about side effects or even if the drugs actually help. I suffered dreadful hormonal and other problems, and yet my mood remained horribly depressed. The drugs killed all so-called hypomania, but did nothing for my suicidal feelings. So I lost all zest and felt even more like ending it.
