Morning folks.

How has your week been? Check in if you have the time.

I hope none of you have been caught in these forrest fires that have been burning around the world.

I'm working on some late spring cleaning. Because of other illnesses I can only do physical stuff for a little bit then rest etc., many days not at all, so I'm behind. I did pretty well yesterday working in my pantry which holds a lot of "stuff."

I'm tapering off of trintellix because of tummy issues. I love the drug but just can't handle the pain from it. No totally the drugs fault as I have chronic digestive issues. I didn't take any of my meds till later in the day but felt great. I like that feeling. turn I always wonder about the side effects of some drugs vs the reason for the drug in the first place.

Hi,

Pretty good week. Kept the pain levels down by planning activities ahead of time. I still have some issues related to depression, I think. Take meds that help but getting motivated like I used to be just isn't happening. Have tried different antidepressants but none act on that issue. I have to push myself to get started. I could sit all day reading through the pile of non-fiction books I have and be quite content - BUT, I wouldn't get anything done and that upsets me more.

So for today I have 2-3 things planned so hopefully I'll get to at least a couple of them.

Warmly,
Chutz

Doing better overall the past 5 weeks as compared to the 6 before that. I am on 25mg of zoloft and take .25 of klonopin as needed now versus every day. I have had to take some klonopin at night a few times this past week to help calm me down. I think the Z at this level has cut the GAD in half from what I was experiencing which is great of course. I still have to use coping skills, but the GAD just isn't as strong now. I am curious what a bump up to 37.5 would do for me, the only time I tried it I had a really tough time getting to sleep. My psy said to take klonopin with that dosage initially until i acclimated. So it is my call on whether to do the increase or not. Part of me says stay the course as things have improved, the other part says if 25 mg has helped, maybe 37.5 would do more. Curious what other out here have either done, or think about this.

It's been a rough start. Still struggling with stomach/gut issues and through the roof health anxiety as a result. To top it off, I slipped and bruised a couple of ribs on my right side right underneath my arm so moving, breathing, shifting positions sitting or laying down is painful. Been icing it but I know it's going to take some time.
