>Verne,
I do that a lot! Love to sleep, 'specially when in the 'pit'.> I'm going back to a place... Quitting wellbutrin/neurotin combo. I need to get back to real - which is being hypnotized by movies like the "Family Man" - another version of "Groundhog Day". Who needs the "Matrix"?
Are you changing to s/t eelse, or just taking a a 'reality w/o meds' check? Since I never really responded to A-D's in past, I often went without b/t trials, just for the sake of self-evaluation. (But, I am not bipolar, suicidal or schizophrenic). So, I felt 'safish' doing so.
> Anyway, I'm combining alcohol with wellbutrin and neurotin. Not concerned about the side effects just wanted to reassure the webmaster that this was an Rx question.Hmmm, are u quitting the WB & neur. as stated above, or not? Drinking a lot (every day) or a bit? Do be careful in making this choice. I have done this once or twice on WB ER.

> Decided (too strong a word) that I would risk seizures to mix meds and alcohol.I wd. really try to drop the meds first, if u feel you must have alcohol right now.
> I used to be "born again". There was a change of heart, a real deep change. Incredible Peace. Love too.I'm glad u found feelings of peace & love. Do u attend services of any kind now?
> But I still find Life completely meaningless and still - at least in my head - find God unreal. Don't love or know GodNow, you're thinking the 'deep thoughts'. Finding love, peace, God, life purpose, serenity, meaning in existence, etc., is a life-long process. I don't believe it suddenly falls upon you when you 'get saved'. The holy spirit does not fly down one time in the form of a dove and bless you with complete knowledge, understanding & intimacy w/the god force. Didn't Siddartha sit under a tree meditating for 5 yrs. before he was 'enlightened'?
I'm not preaching, just saying, continually seek, in all areas, for understanding and acceptance, of those things we can know, and those which will always be a mystery to man. I struggle with these thoughts continually, but, I had to accept that there is no one 'answer', but perhaps, many, to help us cope.

>That says a lot. What is your DX and how've you been feeling lately? Are u on or off meds now?nightlight
