Elz, You are welcome, if you do do a med flush, keep the computer on this station and keep us posted on how you are feeling. Keep a running journal, blather nonsense, yell, scream, be nice, ask for help, just keep in touch, girl. Make sure your doc is available so if you hit rough patches you have her/him available.

> Thanks Wendy B. -- I *do* feel better about following your advice re. quitting the dance studio. It's getting so much easier to say no. Thank you thank you (and thanks to the rest of you for writing as well: Krazy Kat, Adam, sar, Susan C. Phil and Mair -- XXX).

> I'm now getting ready to say a big fat NO to my pdoc who wants to increase medications that I believe are directly responsible for (a) heightening my depression (b) increasing suicidal ideation (which I never had before), and (c) making me physically ill (i.e., I can't eat, have abdominal cramping which has become so severe I can't work) and a host of other problems. I'm meeting with pdoc on Wednesday, and I wanna go off all medications and just start over from scratch. I think I can do it.

You are a volunteer, you haven't even worked out for weeks, you are not getting paid by them, and don't ever walk through their door again... This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a long time...

Come on, we're only talking an hour and a half a week in the nursery to help out (and I wasn't getting over to use the facility anyhow). I'm not particularlyy comfortable asking my psychiatrist to write a note saying I need a break for mental health reasons -- and is this really necessary? Maybe I should just resign altogether, and just start paying the $32 a month to join -- or to join another facility.
