> CarlyHi:
Thank you...your post was very compassionate. I have started on a small dose of short-term use of testosterone, and that has given me a bit of a mood lift. I will only be using it for a week or so in a small amount.
I did react ok to Celexa, and would like to try a pstim, but are they a long-term sollution? Maybe I should do some research on this. I also have problems with anxiety, and am afriad the pstim will blow that away. But, I did have one positive experience with the stimulating "Nortriptyline", and even though it caused some anxiety, it lifted my mood so well, I stuck with it. The Nortrip "pooped out", though, so that's why I didn't stay with it.
Any comments appreciated.
Thanks...
Jay
