Ron,
Really pleased that you're maintaining your wellness.
I'm intrigued by your use of magnesium and its effect on your irascibility; I was actually just about to buy some (!) for my fibromyalgia ,for which it appears to be very effective.I had no idea that it had any effect on mood though, and this is very interesting.I'll grab some tomorrow, and take it for the week I'm away.At the very least it should help with the muscle pain/stiffness.(I'll be withdrawing from Zoloft completely, but maintaining the sam-e/small dose benzo.I'm going to have to join you on the lithium bandwagon too-it's inevitable in my case).
As for your Sam-e experience, I can't help wondering whether this is another case of an AD losing its efficacy the second time around- one of the reasons I hesitated to go off Zoloft.
As for the fish-oils, I came across a pretty definitive,fascinating, 12page study detailing all the latest research/findings etc.I have it stashed, and will post the link when I get back.(from...vacation..hell, I'm always vacant.)Seeya,
Col.
ps.I find evening primrose oil to be quite calming, without the sleep disruption.
