In reply to SUMMER....DRUG FREE?, posted by Buckeye Fan on June 27, 2005, at 12:57:36
HI! I ACTUALLY WENT INTO A MAJOR DEPRESSION 4 YEARS AGO, IN THE MIDDLE OF SUNNY JULY, SO I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN, I NEVER EXPECTED IT!! I RECOVERED, BUT HAVE ONGOING DYSTHMIA AND MODERATE OCD. I ALSO HAVE THE URGE TO CUT BACK MY MEDS, I AM ON PROZAC, [VERY TIRING FOR ME, AMONGST OTHER THINGS] AND WOULD LOVE TO TRY GOING THE REST OF THE SUMMER EITHER MED-FREE, OR ON A VERY LOW DOSE.
I JUST FEEL THE NEED TO GIVE MY SYSTEM A REST FROM MEDS, AND POSSIBLY TRY AN ALTERNATIVE, LIKE ST. JOHN'S WORT, OR SAM-E. I LOVE TO RUN AND LIFT IN THE SUMMER, AND I HATE THE WAY THE "ZAC" SLOWS ME DOWN. A FAST SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA, PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT, IF YOU DECIDE TO DO IT. I WOULD ASK MY DOCTOR ABOUT LOWERING MY MEDS, BUT I ALWAYS GET THE "THUMBS DOWN" ANYWAY, SO I MAY JUST USE MY INTUITION ON THIS ONE, AND IF I HAVE TROUBLE, I WILL DEFINETLY GO BACK TO A FULL DOSE. GOOD LUCK....JOHN BERK
