, some questions

June 8, 2006

, I'm sorry but I wanted to ask you about my supplements.

I accept that I'm in withdrawal and that my system is adjusting to

all sorts of changes. If I need to just take a deep breath and let

things pan out, I will do that. I just find I'm struggling a bit at

the moment and if one of my supplements is " off, " maybe a change

would help.

I feel very much like I did when I was on the Celexa. No more

desperation, crying jags, suicidal thoughts -- good stuff. But I

just feel indifferent to everything and everyone. It's like I'm on

my own little planet and just want to sit and chill. Not do

anything, I'm not motivated and too fatigued to do much anyway. I

can't remember the last time I enjoyed playing with . I'm with

her all day and it feels like chore after chore, which is so sad

because she's wonderful.

Mixed with all the wacky emotions were also a few ups, a few happy

moments, some enjoyed time with . I was getting a little of

this when the sun was coming out, before I stopped light therapy.

The main changes I've made lately were that, stopping light therapy;

starting the GOL multi; and dosing with 100mg magnesium -- I've been

taking it every other hour for the past 3 days. (I stopped my

separate B supplement and that seems to have stopped the

palpitations too, so there's a success.)

I tried to increase the GOL from 6 to 9 a day yesterday (I'd been

having 6 every day for a week) but as I told , I got gastro-

intestinal upset, diarrhoea, and some strong sleepy spells. That's

happening again this afternoon though not as severely. Yesterday I

didn't take any GOL with dinner, and it's been back to 6 today.

My thoughts are that I could try experimenting with putting the

magnesium back to two 200mg doses a day, but I don't want to muck

around with any of this without your advice. I just don't like being

so spacey, numb and sleepy. I was able to chop up piles and piles of

hedges a couple of weeks ago, but now I don't feel able to do much

of anything. Something's weird.

Thanks for listening,

.
