    Great lesley, it works for me. I'm a simple creature, I like to keep things manageable. A journey of 1000 miles begins with one step.........☺

      i got up ...i called the psychiatrist's office and fortunately spoke directly to him.  he told me to reduce to 15 which i will tonight.  i wish i had done that earlier. i still feel like such a mess .. because i know i will have to take another anti depressant.  r u up?
