Thanks Racer, that is very sweet of you.

I really could use a good therapist. Money is a problem though. My pdoc does therapy with me, but I would like a woman's touch. My pdoc doesn't understand eating disorders.

There aren't that many resources to tap into here. I saw that a hospital was offering sessions on how to overcome depression (CBT based) and it was $500 for the 12 group sessions. I just don't have the money.

Thanks again.

Maxime

I got the headaches for a while on it, but they did fade -- the first day I took it, I was laid out like you wouldn't believe, but within a month or so, while I still got a headache every afternoon, it was just a sense of tension -- as if I was wearing a too-tight swimming cap. But what it did do, after a couple of weeks, was boost the AD -- and it had that effect on its own, too. I could almost have used it as monotherapy. The bad news is that it didn't last, after about a year and a half, it left me MORE depressed. But, while it worked, it was a life saver -- literally. Maybe if you gave it another chance, it could help a bit, while you're waiting to find something that works better for long term?

Other social support? I don't know what Canada does, but I do know that there's no much down here. I can tell you, though, that having a therapist I trust and work well with is helping me -- and you know how hard it was for me to find her, and how bad things were with some of the people I'd seen before that. It also helps that I have a stable living situation. If that's an issue for you, on top of this, I can't imagine how you're surviving.
