Hi Steve,
Sorry I took so long to respond. Haven't been on the computer for a while. Sorry to hear that things are not so well. Sounds like you're starting to respond to the increase in your dose though.
I'm sure you've considered this but I'll say it anyways, I think feeling depressed is a very normal response to a personal loss -- and relationships/friendships are about as personal as it gets. I also know the fear (terror) that those depressed feelings are going to turn into the unrelenting kind of depression that is so very difficult to pull out of. I think increasing your dose is a wise thing to do -- and maybe a more appropriate dose anyways based on what others have said here. But don't be afraid of your grief either. Be with it. Get close to it. Spend some time reflecting on it. Talk about it. And trust that you're going to come out the other side -- maybe knowing something you didn't know before, or understanding something you didn't understand before, or maybe still just being totally bewildered about it -- but trust that you'll come out the other side.
This probably isn't a very good PB post since I only said about 2 sentences about meds. Oh well.
Keep on keepin' on!
Lynda
