>TJ - is this directed to me or Emme???
If it's to me, I don't really know and/or remember. I think I was just going with the flow at that point, reaching out for anything that might alleviate my awful feelings!On 5htp, I was not feeling a good lift of my obsessive thinking and weepiness, although I wasn't feeling suicidal and angry anymore. The week before my period was still pretty bad, but I was only on it one cycle plus another week or so.
My therapist & I had been talking about meds for a long time and I was trying to get up my courage. SSRIs seemed like a more tried and true method! Now that it's working, I'm afraid to go off of it and try something else. It's only been 3 months and I decided to give it a 6-month trial.
Take care!
