Sending you my love, Sober. ❤️❤️❤️

Unless the side effects are beyond terrible, I'd try to stick it out a little longer. My Prozac took three months before it started doing the trick!

I'm on a combination of prozac, abilify and a low dose of klonopin (i take a quarter of a .5 mg tablet at a time).. and it works for me. Mine is for panic disorder/ anxiety, though, not bipolar disorder. I do hope you find the right combination for you soon. I remember how desperate I was before I found my cocktail.

I'm having positive results with it as well. Glad to hear you are, too!

I don't know about that! I'm hoping something comes up and I have an excuse to get out of it. :X

I started EMDR with my therapist two sessions ago (have my third session on Thursday). So far, I've made connections that I never put together until now. I don't know that I'm yet desensitized to anything, but I'm still very early in the process. Are you still doing sessions @duck ? Are you guys using the machine?

This will be stuck in my head the rest of the day! haha

Thanks for sharing this article, Lindsay. I need more of these.

Hoping I can make the drive I'm supposed to make tomorrow. I haven't driven longer than 10 minutes in more than a year.

I take it at night as it makes me drowsy. My pdoc is slowly bringing me up to 5 MG and I do notice anxiety with each new titration. But! That seems to go away after a week or so. Hang in there. ❤️

Man, we still can't "like" posts? :( I'm watching Travelers on Netflix. So great.

Have you tried adding any sort of therapy? That's a lot of stress for one person to handle at once - mental health disorder or not.

Ok. Never actually took it. I started it last night (2 mg) and woke up to incredible nausea and cramping. Pdoc said to take half a pill (1 mg) tonight and see if I'm less nauseas tomorrow. Anyone else experience this or take this along with an ssri?

My meds literally took a good 12+ weeks to start working. Please don't give up.

Thanks! Forgot to mention, it is for anxiety/PD.
