> Just completed a month on the *special,* expensive Omega-3. Well, now I know what Flatliner means. A living flatliner. Talk about no ups and downs.
Yeah, the 'special formulation' O-3 didn't do much for me (or my bank balance).> Had the best 6 months of my adult life on Zyprexa, from which I waddled away 50 lbs, heavier in June. While I was on it, I didn't care. Now I do. Especially after I read that Zyprexa can *induce* Type II Diabetes.
Yeah that's made me kinda wary of it (it was mildly helpful in the past). I'm one of those lucky people who have trouble putting *on* weight, but I do remember eating a lot of sweet stuff.
> Am tapering off Neurontin, after several years, Desirous of getting off the sofa again.Not exactly activating, is it?
> Am reducing Effexor from 300 to 225. . because it felt like Too Much Drug: metallic- mouth. Yuck. Otherwise, E is most transparent AD I ever took.
By transparent you mean 'purest'? E stopped working for me years ago but it was the first thing to give me a taste of what 'normal' felt like. Had some good times...
> Am honking on my pdoc for, I don't know, something new. Geodon did squat. I want to Feel Good, All The Time. After my recent appendectomy, I sure did. Courtesy of Vicodin. I think it's about time All the Pain was Gone, and I'll take opiates, I don't give a rat's behind.
> Whatever works.My sentiments entirely.
> I can't write the whole list, what 's worked, what hasn't. . .the board ain't that big.
Same.
