RJ, the other AD meds I took seem to have cause me to go from LD to ND at all. I don't know about this kind, but the others did not effect my stomach. However, I never could tell that any of them helped with my depression. My Fibromayalgia doctor said that people that live with chronic pain has had some good results with this, so I was ready to risk having the sexual side effects again just to feel better otherwise. I guess a person has to decide which is the lesser of the two evils. I told him that if I could just have some energy that I did not think I would feel so depressed. He said that a lot of the pain, low energy could cause the depression or it may be the depression causing the pain and no energy.....kind of like which came first the chicken or the egg. It is hard to live with and very discouraging. My plans have fell through many times due to this, but I can't give up everything in life....even though there are days that I feel like doing that.
Several of you have talked to me about the physical problems in my stitch and I appreciate that very much. I know this is a SSM forum and it gets off the subject, but since it all seems to tie in together, for me, it has helped to have a lot of support from you all.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
