Well, it could be like one of those hippie communes from the '60's, and we would all be sharing our prescription meds. :-)

My sence of balance sucks also, so that won't help..hmmm. It's so darn hard to meditate when you are in bed, dreading work the next day...ugghh. Forget work.let's just pass around the Xanax bottle. ;-)

I use Effexor to ease off the fatigue, but TOO much Effexor (and that often changes...and is still hard to determine daily.) and I am really agitated and pissed off. But, one other thing I find, is the Effexor *stops* my dreaming, and I am happy for that, because I usually get that light-sleep type dreaming.

> > Yes...I am just ranting. You know, one other thing, I wish we could just have a few off when we need it. :-) Especially us with chronic mental health problems....man it would be so nice to have a safe, peaceful, enchanted haven. The world is getting so friggen crazy, people want war, war, war, war, all this tough talk. Dammit, what the heck is wrong with wanting peace??? Maybe we need a revolution like in the 1960's again. (I wasn't born at the time...I am only 31...but hey..:-)
