> I agree some antidepressants do seem to be addictive (nardil, which I take isn't, since I can get off easily with no side effects.) But generally ADs have a ceiling over which an increase is not going to increase the sense of feeling good
Maybe that's why I'm unhappy with the AD's, they don't really make me feel good, or they do for a few weeks, then i slip back.
Most days i hurt all over, and the ad's never did anything for that either, maybe this is why i've resphonded so well to the codeine?
> The problem with dependence or addiction or whatever you want to call it is when you get up to a large dose and you can't get it from doctors, then at what point do you begin to sell the furniture to buy it on the street
I guess this is the point you seperate out the truly addicttve personality, as for me, that would be the point where i would quit, and go back the sofa, if i had to.
> It seems like this is the way you have decided to go,
It sounds so sad when you say it like that..Be happy for me instead. Even if i start sliding back, at least i've had a kind of 'depression vacation' :-)
Thanks again for your kind interest
