useful stuff, thanks...
"the doctors don't know what they're doing either, that's why they call it a practice!"
Hear hear **** lol. I think some of them ought to check out AA and find out what alcoholism's really all about...
ANYWAY - thanks for the replies people, and good luck to jordan and dysthmia. It seems there's as many different experiences as there are people! I guess that's to be expected really. One thing that concerns me is that for an addictive personality like mine, can my antidepressant (called Doselupin, it's an old-fashioned tricylcic) be habit-forming? I can't imagine sleeping without it. One thing that always shocks me too is how much I miss it even when I forget to take it just for one night - the next day, when I take it, esp. if I do it in the morning, it *really* knocks me out. They're kind of subtle drugs (unlike alcohol!) but they are powerful, and I'm starting to think I'd be better off without them. Obviously not true for all of you though - good luck with your various battles!
cheers
