Wildflower, Yes, I understand about the sex. I could be in the depths, feeling deadened, but somehow my engine could keep going libido-wise. In fact, during my 4 day hiatus from Lex, I had a successful roll in the hay. Unfortunately, the bad scenes in the household (lots of yelling, ultimatums) made me realize just how 'effed up everything is with my moods. I might be bipolar, though right now the assumption is that I am a garden variety depressive. It is as though those days off Lex made me realize that the yelling scenes at home had become a way of life for years, then there wasn't much yelling during the 6 days on Lex (at least, I wasn't yelling;but it seems EVERYONE else in the family WAS yelling), then during the 4 days off, I was so...explosive. During the last 3 days I've been back on, there has only been one "scene"--between my rebellious 14-yr-old son and me...so I guess that was brought on by circumstance rather than my brain chemistry. Strange, but the Lex taken at the 10mg instead of 5mg has NOT made me sleepy like before. What it DID do is cause me to oversleep the day after the 1st pill...I slept 13 hours and woke up disoriented. I feel alright now...and there is a huge deadline for me tomorrow night. I should be freaking out about it, but I am rather calm.
