Yay. :-) Little girls are so fun and happy :-)

What meds are you on? I went off a really high dose of Zoloft cold turkey a few years ago, and had a REALLY horrible month (i.e. cold sweats, body aches, constant headache), but nothing after that. I think it was worth it to know myself again...but the agony I put myself through...not sure. If I had to do it again, I think I'd start halving my doseage for a few months beforehand.

I'm so excited for you to be done with your degree. That's a real accomplishment. Congrats!!!

currently i am on effexor xr. i was on that several years ago and went off of it the right way, cutting down slowly on the milligrams. but, even with a tiny cut in mg i would throw up for several days until my body got used to it. it took me about 3 months in all to finally get off of it. i have been on i think 5 different anti-depressants in my life, and for me effexor was by far the worst to get off. you mentioned that you then were able to "know myself again." its not that i dont know myself on this medication. in fact, this medication has made it a lot easier to be me. at least at first. i had really bad social anxiety and barely talked to anyone. it helped a lot with that, but now that i am a lot more comfortable with people i am just not sure if i really need to continue taking it. so many circumstances are different. i have grown emotionally in so many ways, and i question if i should try to get off it now while i feel healthy and supported by friends and family. also... i think it makes it harder to orgasm, but ( ... )

I think you often underestimate yourself...wherever your path leads you, you're going to do exceptionally well.

underestimate myself? how so?

hm...well, perhaps it's just the vibe I get off your writing sometimes. Often times when I compliment you I would get the impression that you didn't entirely understand why I was doing so.
