In reply to a theory or two, and some hope, posted by bookgurl99 on April 2, 2004, at 18:15:08
Hey bookgurl , I hope your theory is correct. I am trying to exist on as minimal medication as possible right now. Even though I am as depressed as ever -from a bodily and somatic standpoint, I have been through so many meds in 14 years that I am just starting to wonder if my brain really can heal it self ? I don't know I am 37 and don't know if my brain is still growing or not. Only thing, I can hope and pray for. Yes my memory is terible and I am very fatigued and feel hopeless etc, etc , etc. But one thing I do know is this despite all the symptoms of depression being there, I find that my mind can atleast flow better and connect with different ideas and concepts. Hope that makes sense. I think this is because I am not currently taking an Ad- I do take 15mg of remeron to help knock me out, but not to the degree that it would help with my depression and I also take ambien and klonopin. I hope that taking just the ambien and klonopin Is NOT just making my depression worse. Anyhow I just really want to believe that my brain can "right itself"!
I feel like giving up almost every single day !!
BUT JUST CAN'T !! I hope my receptors can heal --
let me know if you have any more good insights!
thanks
