Hi guys!
Thanks for thinking about me.
Things are a little bit more complicated than just my achieving remission and flying away.
I am about 25% improved, which is, of course, remarkable.
I am currently attempting to discontinue Lamictal. I have lost some ground, but I believe this only to be temporary. My reasons for doing this are to evaluate the drug's impacts on memory and cognition along with tremulousness. It could be that these things are residuals from the illness itself, but it is important for me to weed out the drugs that are not contributing to the antidepressant response.
I have other reasons for not participating on Psycho-Babble. Right now, I don't think it is in my best interest to do so.
Kaleidoscope: I know you feel stable with your current treatment, but remain less than happy with it. Perhaps Lexapro would afford you more energy? If not, I encourage you to try an augmentor from time to time. You know, things like methylphenidate, modafinil, mirtazapine, or Adderall.
Meri-Tuuli: I am extremely appreciative of your well-wishes for me. Prior to Kaleidoscope's inquiry, you were the only one who asked about me. Please keep your cheerful demeanor so that others can glean positive energy from it. You don't have to do anything special, actually. Just be you. I don't know all of what you are looking for in life, but I hope you can find a start with improved mental health at Psycho-Babble.
- Scott
