Just thought I would let anyone interested know that I have been doing pretty well lately, which given my circumstances, is a miracle to me. It's the first time in my life that I am overjoyed to feel "mediocre"!
I am still on the steady Paxil, Remeron, and Ativan prn, though I am finding that I gain nothing my trying to wean myself off of the Ativan...it just upsets the "cycle" which seems to be working for me, so I use it 3x a day, at 0.5 mg.
The other thing I have found is, that at least for me, I have had to make major lifestyle changes to accomodate taking these meds. Specifically, if I dont get to bed by 11 and up by 7:30, and eat 3 times a day, I am worthless. If I do manage to keep this schedule, I do pretty well...a little dizzy at times, but much better than the suicidal thoughts and bleak outlook on life...maybe (hopefully) this could be regarded as a success story so far...thanx to all for all posts...I am happy there is a place to learn and interact...it means everything to me.
