In piecing, it's best to take the "big picture" view of things as opposed to that day to day lens we had to use in the midst of the craziness. I hear so many improvements...one thing in the middle of it all and a big giant scary thing (for your W) at that doesn't change the forward movement. At least that's something that's helping me...being so hyper-focused gets me into trouble!
Have you been on ADs before? You'll probably not notice anything different for a couple of weeks. It takes a while for them to build up in your system and take effect. Definitely monitor how you're feeling and mention anything you notice or don't like to your doctor. I was on Zoloft the first time I was on ADs, and I had NO feelings...like I could have watched a kitten be killed and just said, "That's a shame." I thought that was normal, but my doctor switched me right away. ADs just put a floor under you and are supposed to help you maintain a normal range of emotions.
I read along often...rarely comment...but things are looking really good. The same ol' DB principles apply for the remainder of your life and in situations outside of your M as well.
Good luck with quitting smoking!
