Sort of like when I found out about her then current meds completely changing the patients personality, turning off the empathy chip, the lawsuit, etc...I know we are both natural med oriented, and she hated spending the $$ for the meds, so I dropped the seed and the forum link (not here, this forum, elsewhere) regarding this issue and away she went...Next visit to her ob/gyn, she asked about the med, ob/gyn said she would never prescribe that and started her on a nice tame wellbuterin course, which seemed to lead to her re-connecting with the kids and family again. She has since gotten up her courage to drop that as well, she is determined to kick this depression's a$$ without any chemical help...she has accepted that the work is within, and the meds were just covering up the symptoms (in the case of the first med, which coincided with both rounds of replay) and in the second, taking the edge off long enough for her to gather herself up.

Hi T2, can you give us an update as to how things are going? Is your wife still off the meds? Has her depression been clearing up? And of course, how's the "work within" coming along?
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
