hi all, i had my six week check-up last week and my Dr. was very pleased with my progress. i'm only taking 5 mg at this point and she said to continue with it as i am very sensitive to meds. she said that maybe the 5 is all i will ever need but to increase it if i feel it is necessary. i told her about the horrible s/es i had and that they have all disappeared now. i feel a bit 'punk' right before my period, but she said that that is normal even with the lex.
as a side note, by BP is up (moderately) BUT it was up before i started the lex, so she told me it is most likely related to stress, the fact that i've gained 12 pounds since last spring or heredity as my mom has it and my daddy did too. she did not put me on meds yet, but is waiting to see if it will come down once i start jazz dancing again and lose the weight. i quit dancing when the depression hit.
holiday hugs to all of you. i never would have stuck it out with the lex if it weren't for your encouragement.
happy holidays,
sapphira
