> Hey all!
> THANK YOU
> Thanx for the feedback, it is sincerely appreciated. A few warning bells were given by some seriously awesome people and that spured me on to attend my p'doc.
> I am now in a Zyprexa haze. But up and down.

> Seemingly, my activities over the past week or so, have bought a smile to some of your faces! I thought I might just fill in the blanks about me mowing the lawn at 3:00am
> I had a problem: it was pitch black and I couldn't see a thing... so I made a wonderful contraption, which consisted of a mag light torch, ducktape and my old baseball cap from when I was at school!!! I think I'll call it my manic hat! Except I wore it untill the next morning, because my long, blonde hair was all stuck to the ducktape and I couldn't pull it off!!!

> One thing though: the S/e profile states "deppression." has anyone crashed down to the dark depths of hell after starting it? I'm worried that it will happen to me.
> U guys have been awesome help, do you have any other mood stabilizer to recommend before I go see the P.doc?

Ah-haa! I knew duct tape was involved...Hey, I've tried several anticonvulsants and thus far Trileptal had more antidepressant effects than the others (even Tegretol). Have't tried Lamictal though. But.. you need something to set you down without bringing you down. Let us know how your pdoc appt. goes.
