    I'm so happy to hear that Jayne! Today has been one of my best days yet. I woke up with a bit of anxiety but it cleared up after taking my meds.

    I had a bit of a depressed day yesterday. Just remember it will be up and down for a few more weeks. Try not to get disheartened if you have a blip day now.. it's obvious this med will work for you!

    Brilliant news. For whoever this medication works for they are in for a surreal experience. That's how I describe my change anyway.

    I lost a lot and can now understand why I lost them. It's like an outer body experience. There is the OCD me who is agitated, obsessive, compulsive, binge eater and down right Uncontrollable.

    For the first time in years I can sit still for longer than 30 seconds I can watch films and really enjoy them I can play with my daughter and engage with her. I can think clearly and lounge around like others. I don't binge eat anymore after years of it along with real exhausting image issues and weight issues. This medication is my life saver and is allowing me to really take in life.

    I don't know you but I sincerely hope your good moods continue

    Hi Jayne - so glad you're feeling better! It really does take time smile Day 6 for me and doing all right today, still a bit nervous and headachy but finally slept a bit better last night. Have started keeping a log of how I am feeling both emotionally and re: side effects. I am a bit anxious for Tuesday to come as my hubby will be out of the house until late and I still feel so much better when someone is with me. I might see if my inlaws will be home and go hang out with them during the day. Trying not to think that far ahead now! So happy you feel good today. Everyone else?
