it will hit you hard…
that’s from Mudhoney. I’ve been off meds for six weeks and in the last two weeks I’ve turned into a vindicative, paranoid, agoraphobic bitch.
I considered trying St. John’s Wort, but it doesn’t seem like a good option, for various reasons.
So, I’ll be calling the doc today.
Did your blood pressure or cholesterol improve while off the meds?
my blood pressure seemed to be about the same, maybe lower by a few points. I never got around to getting my cholesterol checked. might try to get it checked this week.
but I’m not convinced that my cholesterol is that high to be of concern (turn on the “frank’s gettin’ all x-files on the big pharma” sign). and I’m not convinced that having my relationships rot in order to not take one thing is worth potentially lowering my cholesterol.
anyway…
oh, another note. As I’ve gone all Mr. Hyde these last two weeks, my trouble with heartburn and acid reflux has come back. calmer me seems to correlate to digestively happier me.
i think i would agree on the relationships / cholesterol trade off .. but you should probably get it checked … just for argument purposes
