Hi Scott....that was certainly true, without doubt. I was not content with feeling happy- I got greedy and wanted a perpetual state of euphoria- which is not health me thinks! I used a lot of agents to gain this....but, at this point in my life, I think I should be grateful to be just happy and motivated!

I was concerned about you, as I know some other posters were.

I understand- and I do appreciate your concern.

I have always been a very 'colourful', expressive person...Nardil really did bring this out greatly! I look back at some old posts and think "boy, Andrew, you were VERY euphoric!"
I was a little over the top, ha ha! But i was not ever taking any illicit substances or drinking. It's just that Nardil and myself, really 'hit it off'!

I had hoped that you would reach a point of stability as you played with your Nardil dosage. I was concerned about you.

Thanks again. i think that point of stabitlity has been reached now certainly. I think feeling happy, being able to be unrestricted in my movements due to psychopathology, having a constant motivation....I think this is a blessing I have recieved.

If one never produces a homeostasis of the ingestion of medication, how can the brain possibly operate in a state of homeostasis?

That's a very good point- and very well put, although I do wish we could find the aetiology of the homeostatic state. My feeling still, is that is different from person to person, thus making clinical investigations extremely hard....


> In any event, I am very happy that you have reached your stable place. It doesn't matter to me if you are on a perpetual hypomanic high or not. Attaining remission is often elusive, as the stories on Psycho-Babble will attest to. Your persistence has paid off. Some desperately ill people will find solace and hope in your success story. Whatever you are doing is working, and I continue to hope that your successful treatment of such a hideous illness is indefinite.


Thankyou once again so much. I certainly hope people do find hope in my story. I really really feel terrible when i here how people are suffering. Mental Illness, I feel, is a most tormenting illness- not just because of the actual pain, but the intangible nature of it, and, I know their is still great stigma (at least in Australia) towards it.

Like I have stated- before I touched Nardil I can't express in words the agony I suffered so much since a young child- Goodness knows, so many of you have experienced the same.

But just hang on......always hang on......'miracles' can happen I feel....and our pain can be our fuel for strength...

Let me know how you are Scott, and God Bless you all...

I have got to get to an appointement right now, but will certainly answer all the kind messages sent to me.....

Peace!
Ace
