Good Morning
I just wanted to drop a note to say Good Morning to everyone. I have been on my anti-depressents for just over two weeks now and they have made the world of difference in my life. Not that things are great now, but I am not crying every day and I am not raging about every little thing. I can think now!!
I just felt like saying something posative for a change.
I feel good.

Glad that you are feeling better and the meds are helping. Somtimes they can take a few weeks to kick in or you have to find which one works the best. It never ceases to amaze me how the chemicals in our body can affect us if they are out of kilter!

I'm so glad to hear they're working for you, D. It took months before my AD's were fully effective, but eventually it felt like the fog cleared out of my brain and the darkness left. I'm glad I stuck it out, the results were worth it. I hope it continues to get better for you!

Funny thing is (and this may be all in my head) but the first day I took it.... I got giddy. I was visiting family and just felt like I was on cloud nine. I havent felt that way in forever. The giddyness wore off the next day but it still feels like a dark cloud has lifted. I am on Paxel 20mg and my doctor said if I feel I need to I can go up to 40mg. The last time I took this stuff thats what I did but I don't think I will need it. I feel goo where I am.
I still feel a bit like I am getting a cold (side affect) and I am still sleeping a lot but that should ware off soon. I went from not thinking and being angry and sad to feeling good and thinking a lot. I have so much I want to do, Now I just have to get past the sleepyness and get moving!
BTW
My brother is doing much better to. He started his day program and has someone who spends 4 hours a day, 4 days a week just doing stuff with him. One on one attention. He is loving it! If you ever want to donate money to a cause.... I would suggest UCP (United Cerabal Paulsy) My brother is ******** and after my mom died it was like he was lost. He taked about killing him self a lot and giving up and now he calls to tell me what he did at his day program and how much he has enjoyed his day. They are such a blessing!!
I plan to donate money to them and I am even thinking of donating some time.
Have a great day!!
