Oh man...that does sound like a ride alright! ;/ It would almost be easier to not have had that good day...then to deal with the ups and downs, right?

...but, having a good day is a positive sign! It likely means that after a bit more adjusting...that you are going to do well on your new Rx.

The balance of your own Serotonin...and that from the Rx is unbalanced right now. Your own production is down...because you brain recognizes the new amount from the med...

...but the med has not yet reached therapeutic levels (soon!) so therefore the swings in mood.

It is great news that you are now attending the group...and have your P-doc appointment coming up! All good things...you are on your way.

Try to be patient a little longer...with yourself and the process. You are headed in the right direction!

Thank you S.C. you have been such a tremendous source of comfort and support. I'm so very grateful!

I need to remind myself to be patient and be good to myself during this process. Your right, maybe yesterday being amazing is a sign of what's to come (hopefully soon). It was so crushing because it was the first time in 20 years I felt confident I was going to be okay, take back the power I gave this awful disease. Looking forward to the future....getting back into the nursing program, getting a job, getting back to my non profit I retired for the year, being the mom my kids deserve.

This is a fight worth fighting.

I suggested to members of my group Friday to come check this website out, I hope they do.

I'm just hoping the next week brings some change, I'm afraid if it doesn't I'm going to loose it. Med change is an awful experience with so much unknown.

Thank you again S.C. for being so kind to me :)
