Hi- Tofranil PM is simply a single pill of 150mgs -- much better than all those little flipping 25s!
Tofranil is a funny drug -- it sort of sneaks up on you in various ways.
I noticed colors this morning, and sunshine. I also had a joyful reaction to music today. I know this sounds silly but it's been a while.
My sleep is different -- not quiet better yet; I'm having trouble getting out of bed.
Right now I prefer it to the previous insomnia.
My appetite is still slightly deranged [no I can't explain this one].
But on the positive side, I feel some physical strength coming back as the paxil leaves my system.
It does take about 6wks -- the standard increase to 150 or above, to work completely.
Did I feel cured? The symptoms of my depression which I found intolerable are going away.
I don't wake up in fear or total despondancy; the phone does not cause panic; I can think about the future;
I can laugh etc. To a great extent, I am cured. But, if I do not follow thru with what I've learned
and am learning now with the talking component of therapy [basically discovering an owner's manual for me] I will likely
have/create more problems for myself in the future.
I guess the bottom line is that tofranil gets me to the point where I have a choice
in the matter of my health and my life -- it's up to me to take it from there.
