I am thrilled to hear that life is treating you with a little more respect Noa :-) I sincerely hope this reprieve of sorts lingers for a spell, or at least gives you a chance to soak in some much needed sunshine on your spirit.
In regards to some of your other thoughts on meds, I have been wondering if you've made any decisions yet? When you tried Wellbutrin as an augmenter in your med-cocktail, what kind of dosages were you able to handle? I was reading a bit on it and it seems that the real work begins at fairly high doses, which I could not take and thus haven't experienced.
Serzone, this med has really helped me, though in a mildly strange manner. Serzone enables me to fight my suicidal tendencies/ideations. I can talk myself into waiting, or resting for a couple of minutes. It allows me to let the lethal thoughts and impulses slide off me, rather than attacking either myself or the thoughts. I have had my dosage lowered slightly to 400 mgs, and I take that amount spaced out over the day, with the last dose of 100 mgs taken before bed with 100 mgs of Amitriptyline.
Well, I am so happy to see some good vibes washing over you Noa, and I hope going back to work doesn't deter those vibes on their journey. My fondest wishes to you.
