Thanks, Janet. I'll go back and check out Kim's posts. Sleep is my

biggest hurdle. If I can sleep, I can cope with all the other WD

symptoms during the day. I am beginning to learn to relax more with

not sleeping instead of panicking. It's just such a bummer!!!!

But now I know how bad things can get since the cold-turkey from

Ativan! So I thank God for the stability I have, sleep or no sleep!!

Hi Sharon,

It's nice to meet you! I am fairly new around here, as are several others.

I would love it if you would share your whole story with us.

I agree with you about the SupraLife products, BTW. They did wonders for

me.

Regards,

Kim

It would sure be nice if the suicidal ideation would subside if and when I

ever get off Parnate.

To recap: I went down 1 mg on Dec 7th and had to go back up .5 mg on Dec.

29. I felt better for 2 days. At this rate it'll take 20 years or more to go

down the 11 mg I have to go. Each reduction gets harder and harder. In 2003

I reduced only twice. But then I did start at 80 mg.

I've begun to think about just getting to 10 mg/day and giving up any

thoughts of ever getting free of the stuff. The depression hits in spades.

The undesireable effects, aka side effects, weren't as bad this time.

I guess I could be grateful for small improvements but I'm really too

depresssed.
