> Thanks for the support , Jim. >
you're welcome ... everyone benefits ... reading this thread got me through my SEs ... ...
> I wasn't so sick to my stomach. So, if the physical stuff is getting better, does that the mean the mental health should start improving too? Still feel pretty cranked up. >
>i read of some who have had benefits from the first dose, and had that to sustain them through the SE stage ... pretty rare i'd say ... ... i remember being hacked that i'd made it through the SEs, but i wasn't really feeling any different ... ... i'd guess that most have a significant lag between end of SEs and beginning of benefical effects ... typically a week or more ... ... i guess i was on lex for more than a month before i began to feel therapeutic benefits and for two months before i was sure i was getting relief ... but i think i was slower than usual ...

> The Harley's great...you caught that did you?? lol I love the bike. >helps fight depression, it's an antidepressant ... ... 80 cubic inches plus 20 milligrams sounds like a therapeutic combo to me
... ... kind of support for the neurotransmitters i could use ...you might consider taking your 20mg when you could sleep through some of the SEs ...
... ... might want to look for some calming agents for the jitters ... do a web search or hit up the folks in the herbal section of the health food store maybe ... .. i've read valerian helps some people ... ... omega-3 oils and niacinamide (sp?) should help ... get LOTS of water ... exercise ... ... cut down on the coffee for a while maybe ...SEs are mother nature's way of telling us the meds are on the way ... ... _Sometimes_ she can be a real bitch about it, man!
... ... (but i can't complain, i got off light) ...
... hang in ...
and
let us hear from you ...
take care,
