I am on Effexor for a migraine thing and if I miss a dose - zap.<br /><br />I am glad you were able to wean yourself off and can write again. Nothing wrong with tears - but not being able to speak or write is a big problem. <br /><br />I hope things settle down and that we get to hear more from you soon!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768569658001165651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908127.post-62659594854347527852010-10-26T09:38:24.462-04:002010-10-26T09:38:24.462-04:00Barb, this brought tears to my eyes!

Bringing much of it on himself of course, with the whole not doing any work thing. And a teacher who doesn't get gifted. So Thursday at student led conferences, I cried in front of the teacher. And the other parents and kids in the room. Sigh. I'm sure we're the talk of the carpool line now. Noah was crying, too, to add to the fun. <br /><br />Glad things are balancing out for you! Hopefully I'll get there sometime this year.jennypnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908127.post-38480851232208139692010-10-23T10:08:08.778-04:002010-10-23T10:08:08.778-04:00You are very brave.

Every time I talk to a teacher about my child, good or bad, I feel myself tearing up. I cry at toilet paper commercials for cripes sake!

I'm so happy for you my friend. I am, frankly, a little worried about me though. I cry at all those things and I have never taken an antidepressant.

I once got to meet her backstage. In my former life, I was really connected to the Austin music scene and I was blessed enough to get those kinds of perks from time to time.

Bravo for you doing this - hard decision, but the anticipated results will be worth it , I would think.<br /><br />As for Becca's comment about brains that make it naturally - what is tough about that is that when you are blue or crying about something, people find it hard to recognize those as legitimate feelings - you should be happy all the time. We are not all made to walk in the same straight line (that's what makes life interesting) - but you are clearly getting the good support you need to take this step.momwhoknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02953391478311778178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908127.post-70159051691263227962010-10-22T13:51:43.655-04:002010-10-22T13:51:43.655-04:00oh the weepiness!!! how I hate it.

I am on a very low dose of Lexapro now and that seems to do it for me. Enough to keep the weepies and sads and black days away but not enough to fog me out.<br />What's it like to have a brain that makes this stuff naturally?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03707312160893238672noreply@blogger.com
