    I'm feeling just a smidgeon less than perfect today and I count that well low enough to accept a hug, Vix.  Mmmmmm! That makes upi for thhe sun not shining.

    I just realised. Xmas is a few days away and I'm calm and happy. Now that IS Fluox at work! I've always gotten a little blue and depressed during the run up to Xmas, which makes me feel lonely - but not this year!! Yippee!!

    Well,  I'm not feeling low,  I'm having a day off and a couch day,  then a nice hot bath planned,  a nice Sunday dinner planned,  and nothing more. 

    I would like a hug anyway though, as a little top up,  and in return I send you one. ((((xx))))

      I'm doing better for sure, but still not my old self. Now that I'm on holidays in my country, my goal is to find a psychiatrist still for this year and ask him with he/she thinks about augmenting my 40 mg of fluoxetine with something else.

      I recommend to everyone who still is not in remission to search for "13 heroic combos", which lists successfull combination of medication for hard-to-treat depression. This gives an idea that there are many options for our depression.

      Oops your message had come thru while I was typing that so you've already answered.  ...... if you dont feel like your meds are working then its worth investigating alternatives - just hope you find something that suits soon.

      Have a wonderful christmas at home, just being home may help you feel a little better I hope.

      Hi folks,

      Just a small update. I'm now on 60 mg of fluoxetine (and only that). Yesterday and today I feel great, like my old self. I have zero depression right now. Is it going to continue like that? Only time can tell.

      I will update accordingly, with good or bad news =)

      Best,

      Danilo

    Huge christmas hugs to all! 

    Want to say thank you for sharing your experiences on here, posting your updates good and bad and all your kind words of support and advice. It has all very much helped me to understand and to cope with what I am going through much better.

    My Christmas wish would all for us to feel much better now but thats a bit much to ask so maybe just to feel a bit better  most days. :-) we will all get there by hook or by crook!

    Wishing you all the very best for health and happiness in the new year.

     Take care all

    Vix x
