Lynne, If I have not said this before: You are absolutely wonderful! Thank you for giving me the courage to keep my head held high and continue my journey out of this hole I have been in for ten years.

Lexy,
I hope that you have been reading all of our posts today. We all are experiencing the ups and downs of our illnesses. The important thing is to have hope and to know that you will get better. It may take more time, it may take an increase in your dosage, it may even take a different medication but you will survive this! I feel so sad for you and your pain comes through in your normally positive words. I truly feel your pain and know what you are going through. I have had many hopeless days and I am having a hard time myself right now. But I have hope and I pray that you can too. Reading about all of the experiences of the different lives on this board and the tales of courage and survival has really changed me and my outlook on my own life. Sometimes, things get worse before they get better. Which sounds really sappy but has a ring of truth to it.
I think that you are maybe at the point where you need to speak with your doc about what's happening and maybe increase your dosage. I know that you wanted to wait it out because alot of us did not really show improvement until nine weeks. But I can tell you from my own experience that I did not feel so sad at eight weeks in. I felt like I was in limbo. Leaning towards happy one minute and scared and sad the next. Kind of how I am feeling now, by the way, at over 4 months into Lex.I think that I have gotten a little long winded. I'm sorry. I just couldn't let the night pass without replying to you and letting you know that you are not alone. Please check in in the morning. Mrs. C.
