Looking Up

[Heywyre]

LN and Whatisis - yes, I guess I do have a lot to be grateful for. After all, it could be a lot worse

As for getting off the AD - he knows this is something he might have to do for the rest of his life (GP told him so) however, the kind he is taking (Effexor) has been thought to cause some problems and a warning went out to all doctors that patients can't take as high a dose as they once thought - anyway, he went to see the doc and he felt he was doing well enough that they could take the chance of him cutting back - he's not in a rush to come off them totally (he's been on them for a year now) but the risk was bothering him (therefore making the anxiety worse, kind of defeating the purpose of them). What with the sunshine and the days getting longer, he feels strong enough to give it a try

I know I have to start thinking more positively but its hard (like you guys don't alreay know that - lol)

Thanks for the moral support - it does help even though I am not around as much as I used to be (not to be critical because you guys are tops, but I just feel like I need a break once in a while from the boards. I find they can get me down at times - nothing personal)
