If your W is too tired, stressed, depressed and demotivated to be interested in ML to you, then why is she quitting her AD's cold turkey? What does she expect to be different by doing this? I know absolutely nothing about Paxil, but does it make one feel tired or demotivated?
The Paxil CR is taking away emotion and killing the "highs" for her. Of course, it's killing the "lows" too... but apparently those weren't bad enough for her to think she needs the Paxil anymore. SSRI antidepressants can "zombify" a person, and I remember when I was on LexaPro, I couldn't cry no matter how I tried... it was a strange feeling, and I hated it. Antidepressants affect each person differently. W wants to purge her body of all the "unnatural health aides" (BC pills, SSRI antidepressants) and see how life is without them.
Quote: I don't understand her motivation in quitting the medication and I sure as hell don't understand her method. Is she trying to make her life unpleasant?
I think it's a desperate attempt at righting the sinking ship. She feels lost and out of place somehow. It's too bad that I don't own her problems and can't solve them for her, eh?
