Amy, I was on ADs, but I only took them for a month, so it's unlikely that they had any real effect, but even if it was a placebo effect, I did feel better.
For me, the very fact that I had to go on ADs was a spur to "pull myself up by the bootstraps". I had already stopped taking them before BF came around, but I've no doubt that they helped me (in whatever way they worked) to relax, to stop churning up my insides, and to think more clearly. I was on Lustral - I'm not sure if it goes under a different name in the US...
Andy! So nice to see/hear from you again I hope you're well and happy, and everything is going your way...
Yip, things are working out great here, and I'm so happy - all that bad stuff seems a million years behind me - that's where it'll stay, too...
It'd be great to hear from you again
All the best Mel
