I woke up this AM feeling much better than yesterday, even. I am trying not to over-DSM-ize what's going on, but that's hard to do when you're as knowledgable as we are on this board :-)
(In other words, the pessimist in me is going, are you rapid cycling zonked? Probably not.)

Ditto. We're a lot alike. You have no idea how much your support and mutual struggle have helped me--to know I'm nit alone. I appreciate it and weirdly enough, IRL, even away from the computer I often wonder how you're doing.
We'll heal from this--if this doesn't work out, and I do more trials and they don't work out either, I'll just find a doctor who'll prescribe bupenorphine as a last resort.
Hang in there, Scott. You're a good man.
