> What was the final (for now) verdict, JohnL?
I dunno Bob. Flip a coin, eh? This and other benzo threads clearly demonstrate how we all respond so differently without advance predictability. I'm really in a dark way right now and not in much condition to make decisions. It's 3:30ish AM right now, and my pdoc appointment is just 4 hours away. I think this will be the first time ever that I just walk in, throw in the towel, offer no suggestions or ideas, and just say, "Pull a magic trick out of your bag." I'll be curious to see where my pdoc wants to go from here without any input from me. He always goes along with whatever I want. But this time I think I'll let him take the lead and see what tricks he might have up his sleeve.
It's tough. Side effects that are a major problem to me are tinnitus, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction. The primary symptom is severe anhedonia/apathy. If I could just land on a med or a combo that was friendly to those side effects, I could push the dose to the limit and could care less about any of the other side effects. We'll see what happens in a few hours...Thanks for asking though. I really am in a bad way and your inquiring mind helped me feel a little better. Nice to know someone out there cares. Appreciate it very much. No one in my house has a clue what hell I'm walking through each day. Wishing you a smooth day. JohnL
