Bearded Lady -
I read many of your posts with great interest but admittedly, I haven't read them all.
Your statement (copied and pasted below) has me intrigued! Do you attribute your heightened sense of well-being primarily to magnesium?
Would you be willing to give an abbreviated list or synopsis of your regimen? I'm thinking we might be about the same age and I'm ready to jump on ANY BANDWAGON that would bring about the feelings you describe below.
I just purchased magnesium (not the brand that's recommended by Eby simply because I didn't want to drive to Santa Monica to purchase it) and I'm also weaning myself off of a week's worth of Lexapro. Reading this thread on magnesium played a part in that decision. Moreover, I found that living in a catatonic state (even with 40 mg. of Adderall coursing through my body) wasn't something I could tolerate - even for a few weeks (first-born, recovering type A here).
I also found your statement (in another post) regarding "grief hell" since having your daughter five years ago of interest. I had my son at age 29 and it seems like my "PMS" (what I also refer to as "poor me syndrome" since I no longer have periods and don't want to abandon my phantom PMS quite yet) symptoms were definitely heightened after the entire birth process. It might have just been coincidental considering I ended up in early menopause 10 - 15 years later.
Thanks, in advance, for any insight you might be willing to provide. I enjoy your straightforward and well-written posts. I'm not looking for euphoria but "good was 'just living'" sounds divine!
--------------------RE: I hope your good sleep effect lasts more than a week. It's been 6 weeks for me now and I was thinking today that I haven't felt good 6 weeks in a row -- where good was "just living" -- since I can't even remember when. I sure wish I had known 20 years ago what I've just learned lately but better late than never! :)
