Are you kidding? Morgan, you are just super. I have family members who can hammer an agenda. That's not what I perceive you doing at all.
I hesitate to trial anything, period because of long effects. I haven't been off dexedrine or pristiq or cymbalta or lyrica for very long.
I started out very, very med-phobic. I'm aiming for a med-aware, still less is more, but why suffer needlessly attitude.
You didn't rush your lexapro choice, I don't think, did you? You also, intellegently so, waited a good trial period before making working decisions.
I'm in the just looking phase. Being off of snri's at this point is very interesting. I'm cultivating the ability to self observe. Right now I'm considering the idea of an emergency med. That my pdoc didn't shoot that down says much about him. I have really pushed him past what he knows, and he can say so. And then we
can have a conversation. That's really good for me.The idea of going back to my usual snri, ssri is not alluring. I was very numb. And that was not aiding my recovery.
I've shut too many doors. I don't want to habitually do that. For instance, after being off of pristiq, I can look back months and two more meds later and
say that maybe pristiq was actually doing more than I was able to acknowledge at the time. Phillipa helped to point that out, and I don't think she'll mind if I
credit her. Because I am very thankful for that insight.We are having an early unseasonable fog here. I would love some sun. Other than that, my day is alright, everything considered.
That you care enough to post is really priceless. Really.
Hugs to you during your day!
