Re: SPAM-LOW: Announcement

[Guest guest]

:

Just to give you an update on me (and I'm a fast typist so typing rather

than talking is better for me! )

I'm still on 25 mg Prozac (haven't changed that at all) - but I've upped my

magnesium to 3 times a day (125 mg x 3) and also added Barlean's Essential

Woman (which is Omega 3, etc.). Honestly, I've felt better than I ever have

since upping the magnesium and the Omega3......I've just been enjoying my

feeling of " wellbeing " and so haven't even touched my dosage on the

Prozac....

I've also started eating vegetables about 4x a week (a big difference from

eating pizza 4x a week!)

We were a little low on cash flow over the past two months, but I'm hoping

to order that " toddy " stuff by next week....

Anyway, my thoughts have been to slowly start to decrease the Prozac in

about a month or so.....I figure since I'm at 25 mg, that I would take it

down 2.5 mg; does that sound right?

In all honesty, I don't feel it " necessary " for me to actually speak with

you right now.....I'm sure once I start on the actual decreasing of dosage

then that will most likely change, but for now, I'm fine....

Hope all of the above makes sense!
