Hey Kelly,
Sorry I missed this till now. I didn't have computer access most of yesterday.
I'm glad you were able to calm a little since yesterday. Just to add a little. My Doc and I had a long talk about the Depression , anxiety issue yesterday. He also raised the milligrams a little again of the anti-depressant. He did say not to feel so weak or alone because this has hit this late in the game. Like many here have said, he said that many get past that initial fight stage of withdrawal, the mind really starts to rebel and the chemical balance can go completely haywire for a while. They don't know why it happens to some and not others. He did kinda laugh and say that lots of men who appear so strong on the outside wind up an emotional mess when giving up this addiction. I guess there is a little comfort in knowing that. I too have been wading through the day in a fog but am trusting that time and trying some different things with the meds will improve things. I am going to give this change in med 10 days and I am going to talk as often as possible with my wife about what is happening with my thought process every day. She is very smart when it comes to psychology and has some great insights. At the end of those 10 days, I will sit down and decide what to do from there.
Didn't mean to turn this in to me but we have been running so parallel lately with this issue that I wanted to let you know how things are going and to share my doctor's input with you.
Hang in there and I hope some sunshine returns soon.
Moss
