> Well I am starting to feel alot better! The drugged feeling is gone along with the sickness and fuzzy head. I've got myself a new mother support group and a good counselor so I'm feeling really good about my chances at being 'normal' again soon. But I have been feeling a little sexually defunct though I think that's mostly stress and lack of sleep and not the medication. So, I think I'm gonna be alright. I'm not jumping for joy yet but I'm hoping I'm on my way.
Thanks a lot for your letters and for your honesty and support. And I hope that your doing as well as I hope to be.
