Good to hear you are in fine spirits(literally!). The prozac/lamacital combo seems to have done a great job. I really miss my beer being on meds. Yes, I am on the same combo as before and what I read about Cymbalta is that it will be 2004 before it comes out. I have lowered my benzo a little and will continue to do so.
Interesting tibit about Mg is that it made me feel like I didn't need any benzo at all. From what I can tell, if I had a deficiency, is that I must have replenished it and then the Mg caused insomnia. From George Eby's website it said people can get type II insomnia and wake up early from Mg, and that is what was happening. So, I lowered my dose and added some calcium and I have had 4 even, not great, but even days/nights. I do have a spaciness that comes after eating and lingers from 1 to 2 hours though. The good thing is that my anxiety is at a very low level. The lack of sleep was very troubling and really racked me down in terms of depression. When I don't sleep I get pretty wacky and ramble way too much. I think I made poor Ron and Larry H want to smack me with my drivel. So, I will just continue to work on things with supplements. I have been able to tolerate some excercise on Mg and hope I can find the balance to keep that up.
My buddy is from London, but I want to visit Scotland if we go too. He took an Icelandic adventure tour and said it was great, especially the gorgeous native babes. Take care of yourself Colin
Cheers!!
