Going back on my ADs

[Moe]

I'm happy for you.

(Ugh, that sounds so condescending.  I mean it in the genuine happiness ok?!)

[underwaterrhymes]

(heart)

[Deleted]

You tried, and now you know. No shame
in that!

[speckledfrog]

I'm glad help is on the way for you. That ragey feeling blows.

[bonquiqui]

Nothing wrong with that.   (heart)

[daisybuchannan]

I'm sorry things have been rough lately.

I hope you're feeling good very soon!

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Good for you.
If that's what makes you the best, do it and be happy with yourself.

[RoxMonster]

Good for you! I hope you start feeling better soon. There's nothing wrong with being a lifer at all. You're taking care of yourself and doing what you have to do.

[Kristinmo]

Another lifer checking in

[koopa17]

I'm happy for you, if it improves your quality of life it's well worth it! I think I'm a lifer too.

[pantsparty]

Do what's best for you. There's no shame in that; rather, there's courage.  (heart)

[TrudyCampbell]

You know what's best for you. <3

[jayded]

Glad you are taking care of yourself.

[silva]

No shame. Period. You do what is best foe you. I'm back on them and feel so better.

[papie]

I think it is the right decision. I realized last winter that I am also a lifer and admitting it to myself lifted a huge pressure off my shoulders.
Good luck!

[silva]

And apparently can't spell. Lol.

Big hugs.

[silva]

I mean it pisses me off that I have to be them but when I think of the alternative....

[Deleted]

Good for you, Tamb. There is nothing wrong with taking a little pill to help you not feel sad-- I take one myself.

[nursewife]

I think I'll be a lifer with Cymbalta as well. If it helps, I don't see an issue with being a lifer.

[rex]

You're doing what you know is best for you and that's a great thing. There is no shame in needing the drugs.

[murdock]

Another lifer. ((hugs)) to you. It's a big issue to sort through. Your process of taking time off, then deciding to go back soon, and maybe try a different type eventually shows a lot of powerfully backed self-determination. Good for you!

I wish you the best! As a former therapist once said to me, " You're ok with taking your iron supplement everyday, right? Well, why not this?"

[TC]

I'm glad you had the experience of getting to find out what was you and what was the medicine because I'm sure that's a confusing question to have, but I'm also glad you get to feel more certain now about what works for you and have the option to go back to what works! I hope you feel better quickly

[lpcats]

I think I'm going to be a lifer. I burst into tears without it.

[Deleted]

Hope you feel better soon, Tamb. 

[MrsAggie]

Another lifer and TTC for #1. There's no shame and ((hugs)) to you!

[melindafelinda]

I was off for two years. I've decided to pretty much be a lifer too. I just deal with shit so much better.

[Waffles]

Sorry things have been rough. I hope you do feel better soon.

[lilafowler]

Here's another for the lifer club! Seriously though-you feeling emotionally well is just as important to Joanna and the new baby as feeling physically well. I know you know this but I'm sure it feels better to have extra validation :-D

I hope they kick in soon.

[cc]

I'm a fellow lifer. I tried going off of them a year after LO was born. I was put on them for severe PPA. But, I couldn't deal. The anxiety came back about 6 months after I was off of them and I didn't want to go down that path again so I went back on them.

[georgie]

I just wanted to add that I have been on Viibryd for over a year now and LOVE it. I really do notice a big change in regards to sexual side effects. I had tried 3 other ADs before this one and had to stop them because of various side effects but Viibryd has been great. I would definitely recommend looking into it after your baby is born.
