thought it would get better--been there---but it's rare for things to work the same on 2 people.
you're home-free. with me each med sort of has its own 'me'. that's interesting. and i suspect universal. the tofranil 'me' is not the non-needing tofranil 'me'---the original'me'---but it seems to have its own 'surivival instinct'. that is clear in cocaine addicts. the cocaine personality does not wish to die---killed by the non-addicted, recovered, former user. it and most drugs, certainly shrink meds, have all pulled this one on me---they're not anti-biotics. perhaps a large portion of withdrawal, even the physical attempts on the withdrawing 'on-drug-person' to drag the user back, is in part the drug-activated personality wanting to 'stay-alive'.? no doubt meds or disease may make our brain look different---but it is the most dynamic organ at overcoming obstacles and 're-setting'. maybe dr. nash found a non-drug way to whack the crazy guy for the sane? and stop the crazy guy from manipulateing his neuro-chemistry back into drug use?
