I need to score me some clomid.
There is an entirely herbal, uh, remedy that very often produces those effects.
So I hear, I mean.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Geez, I"m with Ginger--I never get the good side effects! Heck, even benadryl doesn't make me sleepy.
I never get the fun side effects either. Not even from 'recreational' drugs...except for the one time...

The status is NOT quo.
sj, I had some pretty unpleasant experiences with Clomid when I was trying to get pregnant years ago. I had menopause symptoms and was wildly moody. It wasn't great for my depression, either. It definitely did not make me frisky. But honestly, it's not something you can predict, and the only way to know how it's going to affect you is to try it. I would advise having TCG on alert for symptoms, though, and have coping plans in place to get through that period. It sucked, but it would have been worth it if I had gotten pregnant.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My mom got the Phenfen heart attack and my dad got the Vioxx heart attack. Given my family's luck with meds, I'm waiting for the announcement that ibuprofen causes people's parathyroids to dissolve. Or maybe I'll be one of the initial data points.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
No, it was...I wondered if I was having a psychotic break. For real. It was not a good drug for me.
Oh, no. Not good.
and have been on a new AD, Viibryd, for 2 months. It is REALLY helping! And no side effects.
Maybe I'll go back to my shitty psychiatrist and try for this. I'm really struggling with depression and anxiety, but I'm so disillusioned with therapists and shrinks and meds I don't even want to try anymore.

You're not gonna just let that lay there, are you? What is it?

I have such weird, non-typical reactions to so many drugs. Trying a new one always feels like a crap shoot.

Look at this thing: Raven Wreath. I'm gonna make that for Halloween, and then maybe keep it up all year.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm really struggling with depression and anxiety
Once I get through the wedding and honeymoon, I may need to go back on anti-depressants. It's been so long (well, 3 years, I think, but that's the longest unmedicated streak I've had since 1995 or so) that I was hoping I was on an even keel for good.
I get that I've had a lot of significant stressors in my life recently, and it's not abnormal for my mood to change in response. But I also don't want to head into the less-sunlight, cold part of the year and not be able to pull out of what feels like the beginning of a slide into depression. Boo.
As for anxiety, my understanding is that there's a BP med that's helpful with social anxiety, and I'm half-tempted to switch BP meds and see if it helps. But my BP is well-managed on the medication I'm on now (and has been for years), so I'm reluctant to switch.

Thanks, Pix. I will keep that in mind. Although, honestly I'm not sure TCG could tell the difference right now. I've been a little extra crazy with my monthly cycles since we started this thing a year ago.

Marijuana, Zen. Weed, pot, doob, ganja. And I'll be honest -- I wish it were legal in Kansas. I very rarely drink anymore, I don't take Ambien or Xanax anymore, but some evenings, I wish I had a joint, a warm shower with good smelling shower gel and some DVDs. I'd much rather get a little stoned than have a glass or two of wine. I see no problems with weed in moderation. YMMV.
