Thank you all for your kind replies. Today was the
end of 4 weeks of full days in the outpatient program.
They want me to get out and go back to the real
world but I'm not ready, so we agreed that I will
continue the program but only attend the morning
session, letting my afternoons free. I am not going
back to work yet. My therapist says she has noticed a
significant change in me the past 2 weeks. She says
I seem more alert and have a 'brighter' presence.
I can't see or feel this. In truth, I just feel drugged.
I'm afraid to leave the program because
a)it provides structure to my life and I feel
comfortable there
b)It's the only support system I've got. I still have
not spoken to anyone about my hospitalization and
ongoing treatment.I've been tapering the Serzone and increasing the
Effexor. Right now my meds are:Effexor 150mg
Serzone 300mg
Klonopin 4mg
Lithium 600mgI'll give the Effexor a chance but it does have some
undesirable side effects. No orgasms, decreased
libido, difficulty urinating, constipation.That's it for now. Thanks again and take care of
yourselves.harry b.
