Time Flies......
Looks like I have been slacking in the writing department.  Life's been hectic, and being back on meds I wonder if it helps or if I just go in the opposite direction of where I was.   I went back on my meds about a week or so ago.  I was getting depressed and wanted nothing more than to sleep my life away.  Frustrated with everyday situations, and the never ending process of things not changing.  So back to the meds and about 5 days into it....I was going way over the top.  Too much energy.  Anxiety, severe agitation, my brain was going a hundred miles an hours.  I couldn't slow down if I wanted too.  So....me being me.  I altered my meds to half the dose, and it seems to be just enough, to keep me from getting down, without going crazy full speed ahead.  God do I hate the ups and downs of depression.  One minute Im exhausted, too tired to think.  The next I go on meds, and I am going over the edge.  It's crazy, a never ending rollercoaster that I just wish I didn't have to deal with.  I go back to the doctors this week.  We will see how I am doing then.  Just wanted to write a quick update...Thanks so much for all the input.

Take care
Shelley

Hi Shell, you talk about the ups and downs. Have they, they docs, ever tested you for bi-polar disorder? I went throught years with a child of mine in the psychoanalysis system and know they grasp as straws sometimes not knowing what is going on. It is all about trial and error in finding out what is really the problem with someone. That is why I ask the question, I am not trying to diagnos nor am I saying that that is what you have. Just wondering the kind of testing, since you brought up the ups and downs you are experiencing. My experience with anti-depresants, one shouldn't have the reaction you are having, but that is just my experience. Maybe something to bring up with your doc. God bless you, hon. All the best, and I hope and pray they do right by you and get you all set on what you are suppose to be on, if anything. Oh, what about therapy? Are you involved at all in any kind of therapy? That is a huge help also.
