Hi Everyone:
I've been pretty busy at work so haven't been posting much, but I read all the posts! I looked up grapefruit juice on yahoo and found several articles regarding the mix with meds. I didn't see anything that talked about SSRIs, but it all sounded like it's in the early stages of research. My father-in-law's doctor tells him to drink it daily and he's on a large number of meds for all sorts of things. So, I guess we need to do more reading.Hope everyone is doing well. I had sort of a meltdown yesterday (12 days before my period, my usual crazy time!). Went to see my T and she gave me some coping/behavioral things to do for next month - like get on my treadmill, go for a drive, eat chocolate, etc. Not very scientific, huh? She thinks my dosage is fine, but I'm just starting to experience the effects of perimenopause. Yippee :-(. I have terrible night sweats once or twice a week. I'm still foggy during the day and she said this could possibly be the signs of perimenopause too.
So, I am fine, just experiencing normal ups and downs I guess. I learned that the mother of one of my son's friends died Sunday of a blood clot in her leg that went to her heart. 38 years old and in great shape - a P.E. teacher. It happened in a matter of 30 minutes or less. Not to bring anyone down, but it surely made me realize how fragile life is. And still with all that, I still couldn't turn around my little meltdown yesterday. I guess it really is chemical or do I just not have any self-control anymore?
I hope everyone is doing well and feeling fine. The weather here is in the low 70s and everything is green!
